Wood sorrel gets more play, but sheep sorrel is the wild sorrel you want. Last longer, doesn't wilt fast, and stands up to cooking. I go over a few key points about the plant, as well as a few ways to use it. This is good plant to know, and can easily be harvested in quantity when you find a decent patch.
Other stuff I mentioned in the video

We made the Sheep Sorrel Sauce Troisgros tonight from the “weeds” growing alongside our driveway. It was, quite possibly, the most delicious thing I’ve ever made.
My husband and I are planning a small cookout this weekend with his parents. We are gonna smoke some local trout, I would love to make this sauce with it.
It's really good.
I've never seen it my region which I guess is a good thing 😂
thank you
Sheep sorrel is so good. Here in the Pacific Northwest, the easiest time to harvest high-quality leaves is in the fall, after the rains return and before we get extended freezing. Some years, they are in good shape all winter long.
Oh yeah! I’ve picked it in BC in the fall. It was way easier to find young leaves than here in the Midwest.
It's spreading on my property after some gravel was brought in and I've been trying to suppress it, but it's nice to know that it's delicious as well. I'll try something soon!
Yep it spreads rhizomatically so def keep an eye on it.
Sorrel is one of the highest oxalate-containig plants. I would most definitely skip that one
Sorrel is a traditional food around the world.
So I believe the case against high oxalate plants is that it blocks calcium. The reason we need calcium is for bone health. Here's an unofficial case study for you: We discovered yellow wood sorrel about 7 days ago and we have been eating a silly amount each day. It's delicious and our toddler loves it. We've added a few other wild greens to our diet this week as well but otherwise haven't changed anything at all. Our teeth are noticably shinier and much stronger. Teeth health indicates bone health 🤷. So it's definitely not interfering with our absorption and I honestly don't anyone usually eats as much as we have been 😅.
@@mentalhealthmolly excessive oxalates can be fatal. It goes beyond interfering with Calcium absorption. It can chemates many more minerals so it causes mineral deficiencies, kidney stones (or kidney failure), damamge the liver ans every tissue it comes in contact with)
I don't know gor sure that the rype of sorrel you found is excessively high in oxalates like the other sorrel.
Plants are not harmless! It could be harming you silently until it's too late. It's not a wise move to eat all this sorrel.
@@foragerchef4141it has also been found to be toxic. Sorrel has "traditionally" caused havoc and even killed people and animals due to its excessively high oxalate content
