never had sorrel before, how do you cook it and recipes?
My mom always used it for soup. She would also do her own canning, so saved for winter soup use. It can be used like spinach. It can also be eaten raw in a salad, as it has a somewhat sour taste.
I guess since I grew up eating this stuff, I continue liking it.
I posted the soup my DW made on another thread. Here is a quick link to it.

DR OZ would probably say it is filled with antioxidants if someone paid him to say that.
It is a vegetable that is used to create a flavor of a soup. We usually start with chicken soup with plenty of all the conventional veggies . The sorrel changes the soup flavor.
When mom would be out of sorrel, she would substitute with spinach. The flavor was slightly different, yet similar.
Sorrel would tolerate growing in the shade, so she always had a strip of it growing where sun demanding plants would not thrive. The garden was small, so she tried to utilize every area to the max.
Sorrel seeds are not very common here. (stores and nursery places in my area)
Walmart does not carry them. I get mine from European Markets. It also seems to be the first seeds that sell out. Most likely reason,,,,,,,, most of those other seeds can be purchase anywhere else. (common)
