\n👨🌾HARVESTING TIPS👨🌾:
\n
\n
\nRumex sanguineus is a variety of sorrel that stands out for its light green foliage veined with red.
\n
\nIt's a perennial vegetable plant, ideal for permaculture.
\n
\n
\n \nThe leaves are light green dramatically veined with red, easily grown and even more easily harvested. \n \nWhen eaten raw, it adds a tangy note to mixed salads, but it can also be cooked to flavor sauces and fish. \n

It’s an aromatic leafy plant, rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, and is prepared and cooked much like spinach.
\nWhen cooked, it adds a pleasant tangy touch.

- Pick the leaves as needed, at the juvenile stage or at maturity, from spring until the first frosts - between March and October \n
- If you'd like to extend the harvest into winter, protect the plants with cloches or bring them into your greenhouse. \n
- Sorrel leaves should be consumed immediately after harvesting, as they don’t store well. However, once cooked, they freeze very well. \n
- This sorrel thrives in cool, rather heavy, and acidic soil - mulching will protect it from the worst of the summer heat! \n

- To reduce watering, we recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings, ideally mixed with dead leaves. This protection helps keep the soil moist and also reduces the need for weeding. \n

The Tale:
\nThis variety is used largely for ornamental purposes, though it is absolutely edible. \n \nRelated species such as garden sorrel and French sorrel are generally preferred for use as a vegetable as they have less of the bitter twang. \n \n\n \n
