tips
Eat in moderation
Sorrel contains oxalic acid, so it’s best not to eat large quantities, especially if you’re sensitive to it.
Preparation
Sorrel can be eaten both raw and cooked. In salads, it is best raw but you can also blanch it to reduce the sour taste.
Combine
Sorrel has a slightly sour flavour that goes well with creamy ingredients such as cream, cheese or eggs. For example, you can add it to an omelette, risotto or mashed potatoes for a fresh twist. Sorrel also comes into its own in salads with goat cheese, nuts and berries.
