Red Panda sorrel (Rumex acetosa) is a striking garden sorrel with green leaves marked by deep red veins. The young leaves have a tangy, lemony taste and can be added to salads both to enhance taste and color. It is a hardy perennial that grows best in cool weather and appreciates afternoon shade in hot summers.
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.
