Rumex scutatus
French Sorrel is a small edible green plant from the Polygonaceae family, which also includes buckwheat and rhubarb. The French translation of sour (“sorrel”) is spot-on: These leaves have an intense lemony tang.
Sorrel is a perennial vegetable hardy enough for Minnesota gardens and is among the first crops ready for harvest in spring.
