Sorrel, Transylvanian

Rumex acetosa. A variety of garden sorrel with nice long, strap-shaped leaves. Good color and flavor all winter. Needs water in the summer to keep growing. Collected by The Seed Ambassadors Project from a Hungarian farmer at the farmers’ market in Cluj, Romania, on our 2008 trip to Transylvania.
 
Sorrel is an awsome winter vegeable, with a unique lemony flavor that can be used in soups, sauces, and is great chopped up in omlets.
