- Comments: Sorrel is a perennial plant native to Europe and Asia, now found in America and Australia. It has a refreshing, slightly sour taste since it contains oxalic acid.
- Sorrel is related to rhubarb (that also contains oxalic acid), and can be used as a vegetable (salads, purees) or possibly as an herb (soups and sauces). It is available throughout the summer.
