Fresh sorrel is a vibrant herb known for its bold, lemony tang and slightly grassy undertones. Its sharp acidity gives it a refreshing quality that can brighten up a wide range of dishes. Unlike milder leafy greens, it has a distinctive sourness that intensifies when chopped or cooked, making it a unique ingredient in culinary applications. The texture of fresh sorrel is tender yet slightly crisp when raw, similar to spinach but with a more delicate feel. When cooked, it wilts quickly and can dissolve into sauces or soups, creating a smooth, velvety consistency. Because of its high oxalic acid content, sorrel takes on a pleasantly tart and almost citrus-like flavour that pairs well with rich, creamy or fatty ingredients.
