Fresh Sorrel

Fresh sorrel boasts a vibrant, tangy flavor reminiscent of lemon and a grassy, almost herbal aroma. Its tender, arrow-shaped leaves offer a crisp, succulent texture that brightens any dish. Originating in Europe, sorrel has long been a staple in French and Eastern European cuisines. Its unique acidity makes it a standout in soups, salads, and sauces, offering a refreshing alternative to citrus. Valued for its ability to cut through richness, sorrel adds a lively zing to both warm and cold dishes.

Notes

Store fresh sorrel in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel to maintain its crispness. Use within a few days for optimal flavor. Its potency mellows when cooked, so adjust quantities accordingly.
