■ For use in salads, soups and sauces.
■ Sorrel Green de Belleville is broad-leaved.
■ Excellent eaten raw as a salad and hardly needs vinegar or lemon juice when preparing, as the leaves taste slightly sour by themselves.
■ Harvest as many young leaves as possible and always remove the flowering stems to keep the leaves young.
■ Sorrel already germinates at low temperatures.
■ Grows best in some semi-shade.
