Tangy lemon flavor for soups and diced in salads, flavor is best when leaves are young in the spring and especially in the winter but is edible all year. Salmon is famous with sorrel. Bon appétit! It is known to permaculturists as a dynamic accumulator cover crop. Nutrients are pumped from its deep roots to the surface in its leaf litter. This is one of the very few edible cover crops that can compete in thick grass in an old field. Similar to comfrey in its effect. Also known as Lemon Sorrel and buckler-leaved sorrel.
