30-50 days. Red-veined sorrel is a must-have for your vegetable patch, and it’s ready before you know it — pick the sweet apple-green-and-maroon leaves young for best texture and flavor. Yum!
Red-veined sorrel has a tart, sharp flavor, much stronger than you would expect from its small size and innocent apple-green freshness. Running up the central vein (the “midrib”) and radiating outward into the leaf is a dash of maroon-red, very showy and bright. Talk about plate appeal!
This delectable green is a terrific addition to soups, stews, egg dishes, and more. Pick it as young as you like — if you wait too long, it will become tough. Even when young, it has a nice crispness that contrasts with the ultra-soft feel of the top of the leaf. A very interesting green!
The lemony flavor is distinctive and pleasing in red-veined sorrel, the appearance is charming, and the growin’ is easy. Make this the centerpiece of many a fine meal at your table this season! Packet is 50 seeds.
