French sorrel (Rumex scutatus), is a perennial herb prized for its tangy, lemony (sour!) flavor and nutritional benefits.
French sorrel is commonly used in culinary applications where its sharp, citrus-like taste adds depth to salads, soups, sauces, and as a garnish. It pairs well with fish, eggs, and potatoes, and is particularly popular in French cuisine. Beyond its culinary uses, sorrel is known for its high content of vitamins (especially vitamin C), minerals, and antioxidants.
In terms of cultivation, French sorrel prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. Regular harvesting of the leaves encourages new growth and prevents the plant from becoming leggy.
Comes in 1 gallon pot.
