Description
The Sorrel Large Leaf herb, scientifically known as Rumex acetosa, is a perennial plant that is valued for its distinctive tart flavor and culinary versatility. This herb is characterized by its large, arrow-shaped leaves that can grow up to 12 inches long, making it a prominent addition to any garden. Sorrel is particularly rich in vitamins A and C, and it contains oxalic acid, which contributes to its tangy taste.
In terms of cultivation, Sorrel thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level ranging from 6.0 to 7.0. It prefers full sun to partial shade, and while it is relatively hardy, it benefits from consistent moisture. The plant can tolerate a range of temperatures, but optimal growth occurs in cooler climates, typically between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Sorrel can be sown directly into the garden in early spring or late summer, and it is known to self-seed, allowing it to return year after year.
Harvesting Sorrel is straightforward; the leaves can be picked as needed, starting from the outer leaves and allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. It is advisable to harvest before the plant flowers, as the leaves can become tougher and more bitter after flowering. The leaves can be used fresh in salads, soups, and sauces, or they can be cooked similarly to spinach. Nutritionally, Sorrel is low in calories, with approximately 22 calories per 100 grams, making it an excellent addition to a healthy diet.
In addition to its culinary uses, Sorrel has been utilized in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and may aid in digestion. However, due to its oxalic acid content, it is recommended that individuals with certain health conditions, such as kidney stones, consult a healthcare professional before consuming large quantities of Sorrel.
In summary, the Sorrel Large Leaf herb plant is a valuable asset to any garden, offering both culinary and potential health benefits. Its ease of cultivation and unique flavor profile make it a popular choice among gardeners and chefs alike. By incorporating Sorrel into your gardening practices, you can enjoy a sustainable source of fresh herbs that enhance your culinary creations.

Safe Seed Pledge
OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
