Description
Sorrel is practically speaking, an ‘herb-vegetable’ or ‘pot-herb’ as it can be cooked like a vegetable, while it has a distinctive lemony flavour like an herb. It can be harvested at baby leaf stage and is a great lettuce substitute in salads and sandwiches as it doesn’t go limp. It is most delicious when cooked; and the flavour is delightfully acidic. It is a fantastic partner to fish, veal, eggs, and potatoes in soup or gratin.
It is hardy, fast growing and well-proven to be productive under almost any conditions. Its powerful lemony flavour can be tamed easily by blending it with other milder ingredients and it packs a nutrient punch containing iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, some calcium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.
Once established, it can be treated as a ‘cut and come again’ crop. The plant should produce greens for 8 to 10 years. Once you’ve got a clump going it needs no attention other than when you want to eat it.

Delivery Guarantee
We take great care to make sure your seeds arrive safely. If your order is lost or damaged in transit, we’ll happily send a replacement. Unfortunately, we can’t replace or refund orders that arrive later than the estimated delivery date, as delays can sometimes occur that are outside our control.
Please note that all dispatch and delivery times listed are estimates only.

If you don’t see it in your main inbox, please check your Spam or Promotions folders as sometimes our emails like to hide there.
