Sheep Sorrel
Wild Crafted - USA
Also Known As - Rumex acetosella, Common Sorrel, Garden Sorrel, Dock, and Red Sorrel.
Overview - Sheep sorrel is a perennial plant that grows in almost any soil. It has arrow-shaped leaves that have a lemony, sour taste. They are often used in salads and cooked with other greens to add a little zing to the dish. Sheep's sorrel is not as large as its cousins, French sorrel and Garden sorrel. Towards the end of summer the leaves may take on a reddish hue. Sheep's sorrel is one of the four ingredients in the controversial cancer remedy known as Essiac. It has also been used in Native American medicine for cancer. Sheep's sorrel is a laxative and diuretic. Sheep's sorrel spreads rapidly like mint, so you may want to put it in a pot to contain it.
