Organic Garden Sorrel
identification
description
Garden sorrel, *Rumex acetosa* var. *hortensis*, is a hardy and generous perennial that naturally finds its place in both food gardens and herb gardens. As soon as warmer weather returns, it produces an abundance of bright green leaves with a tangy, lemony taste, capable of instantly enlivening salads, soups, sauces, and even sandwiches. Its supple and elegant form adds a beautiful botanical presence to the garden, while offering repeated harvests over a long period. Easy to cultivate, it adapts well to both sunny and semi-shady locations, making it valuable for various corners of the garden. Very hardy, it faithfully returns year after year, gradually becoming a familiar companion for daily harvests. Its discreet flowers also contribute to the garden's diversity, while its dense foliage beautifully covers the space throughout the season. We love to pick a few young leaves as we pass by to add a lively note to daily dishes, like a small, simple luxury within reach. At once decorative, productive, and flavorful, garden sorrel combines culinary heritage, ease of cultivation, and culinary richness.
