Sorrel is a versatile perennial herb that thrives in a food forest, offering both culinary and ecological benefits. Its vibrant, tangy leaves add a lemony flavor to salads, soups, and sauces, making it a favorite for cooks looking for unique flavors from their garden. Sorrel is low-maintenance, hardy, and one of the first greens to appear in early spring, providing a valuable source of fresh leaves when other plants are still dormant. It can grow in partial shade, making it an excellent understorey plant, and its deep root system helps improve soil structure by drawing up nutrients. Perfect for food forests, sorrel supports biodiversity while being a reliable, long-lasting addition to your edible landscape.
