Sorrel is a leafy green vegetable, grown for its pleasantly tart, lemon flavor. It sometimes grown as an herb and sometimes as a vegetable.
It is a hardy perennial herb grown for its leaves. Sorrel has large, light to dark green, oblong-shaped and spinach-like leaves. It comes as fresh or frozen and chopped or whole.
Its taste ranges from a refreshing, sharply acidic, or astringent spinach-like taste with bitter notes to a milder, lemony taste. The younger leaves are less acidic. The dried leaf loses its citrusylike flavor.
