| wood sorrel salad |
The wood sorrel grows a small yellow flower and in my opinion is tastier than clover, although you can eat clover also.
Today I went out to weed my garden and was excited to see wood sorrel growing there along with my swiss chard and collards. I noticed another volunteer that is edible: purslane. So next week while I weed my garden I will not be throwing the weeds in the compost, rather I will throw them in my salad bowl.
Hi Clare,
ReplyDeleteLovely! I also understand that if you dry wood sorrel it can be used as a nice lemony herb, a hot tea, or made into a cool refreshing drink like "lemonade." I have also read and heard that seen you should be very careful not to consume too much wood sorrel if you have any sort of kidney ailment as wood sorrel is high in potassium oxalate and oxalic acid.How much is too much? It's great with other cooked greens, made into pesto, and goes great with almost any seafood.
