Green sorrel (Rumex acetosa), also called garden sorrel, is a hardy perennial leafy green with bright green, arrow-shaped leaves. The young leaves have a tangy, lemony taste and can be added to salads, soups, and sauces to enhance flavor. Sorrel grows best in cool weather and appreciates afternoon shade in hot summers; remove flower stalks to keep the leaves tender.
Sorrel contains a high amount of oxalic acid, hence it should be eaten in moderation. Pregnant women, children, pets, and people with kidney problems should avoid this vegetable.
