Sorrel - Red-vein

$12.90 ($4.90-$12.90 choose a size)

Red-vein sorrel is edible and ornamental. An attractive perennial it has the look of spinach, with the green leaves described as lance shaped, from 5-14 cm long. The characteristic red-purple veins are quite striking and may be more prominent in the summer months. This colouring also gives the red sorrel the names bloody sorrel, bloody dock or red veined dock. The plant itself spreads, with a rosette like base creating a clump of leaves above the taproot. The tall spikes of tiny, greenish flowers appear in summer. Small, brown fruits, containing seeds, appear after flowering. The young leaves of sorrel can be used sparingly in salads, the presence of oxalic acid means it should not be eaten in large amounts. Sorrel may be used for sauces and soups, salads and omelettes.
