About Sorrel

Sorrel is a leafy green herb known for its tangy, lemon-like flavor, often used in soups, salads, and sauces. Native to Europe and Asia, it has long been a staple in French and Eastern European cuisines, particularly in dishes like sorrel soup or as a garnish for seafood and eggs. Rich in essential nutrients, sorrel provides a good source of vitamins C and A, iron, and magnesium, supporting immune health, skin, and energy levels. It’s low in calories and boasts antioxidants that help fight inflammation. However, sorrel contains oxalic acid, which can contribute to kidney stone formation in sensitive individuals if consumed in excess. For culinary purposes, its bright, citrusy taste can elevate dishes while offering nutritional benefits, making it a versatile addition to healthy meals. Moderation is key to enjoying its flavors and advantages while avoiding potential downsides.
