Sorrel seeds

Sorrel - Species of Rumex - from the family of Polygonaceae is an aromatic and edible plant cultivated for its tangy, sometimes spicy leaves. It belongs to the same family as rhubarb and buckwheat. Despite their resemblance, Sorrel and Spinach do not have the same parentage but they combine favourably on the plate. This perennial - de Belleville Large Sorrel for example - can be sown from March to May, in situ, in shade or partial shade in moist soil of all types, even clay soil. It is rich in vitamin C but also in beta-carotene.
