Sorrel - Common The Sorrel leaves have a sharp, lemon/spinach flavor and is one of the earliest spring greens. Sorrel is an underutilized vegetable in the United States and unjustifiably so. Sorrel is very high in Vitamin C and has many uses. The fresh leaves are used by some to soothe canker sores. The Sorrel plant is 12 to 36 inches tall and has large, crinkled, arrow-shaped leaves. Plant the Sorrel 2 weeks before the average last frost date. Sorrel prefers a moderately acid soil and the soil needs to be kept moist for the best flavor and production. Cut older, yellow leaves off to encourage the young, tender, healthy growth.
