Hepworth Farms Local Organic Sorrel
Sold out
Sorrel is a perennial herb that sprouts eagerly from the ground each spring, reaching its peak season around May and June. In addition to having a tangy, lemon zest taste, the leaves are often used as a remedy for digestive problems. Because sorrel provides a hefty dose of fiber, vitamins A, C and B6, iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium, it's considered a health food.
