Herb Garden: French Sorrel

Please select the herb you are interested in from the left hand column

French Sorrel Buckler's Sorrel 
Rumex scutatus  Family: Polygonaceae

Great for sauces and salads

Hardy Perennial
15-50cm (6-20")  x 120cm (4')
Sun or semi-shade
moist rich soil
Cultivation Notes: Invasive. Sow seed from March to May 1cm (½") deep, thin to 15cm (6") apart. Can also divide existing stock in Spring or Autumn. Do not allow to flower. Can be used as ground cover. Pick leaves before flowering for use fresh. Lift roots in Summer and dry.

General: Dye plant.
Culinary Use: The leaves have a lemony flavour and can be used like spinach, in salads, stews, sauces and omelettes and for Cream of Sorrel soup. Leaves can also be used to curdle milk for junket. Contains high levels of oxalic acid (like spinach), so should not be eaten in large amounts. Can be frozen.
Medical Use: Astringent, diuretic and laxative. Rarely used.
