Sorrel (Rumex acetosa) is a perennial with green, arrow-shaped leaves prized for their tangy, refreshing taste. The young leaves are used in soups, sour broths, sauces and salads, giving a pleasant natural acidity. The plant is hardy, returns year after year and prefers moist, fertile soils in sun or partial shade. The acidity comes from oxalic acid, which is why it is eaten in moderation. Sorrel is a traditional spring green, easy to grow in the garden.
