Petite® Silver Leaf Sorrel is very small in size, averaging 5-7 centimeters in length, and has broad, rounded, shield-like leaves with crisp, pale green stems. The silvery, green leaves are smooth, flat, wide and have a central, prominent dark green vein that branches into a few smaller veins across the surface. Petite® Silver Leaf Sorrel is delicate, tender, and crisp with a mild, lemony, sweet-tart flavor that is not overpowering but is balanced with soft acidity.
Petite® Silver Leaf Sorrel is available year-round.
Petite® Silver Leaf Sorrel is a tiny, edible green that is a part of a line of specialty greens grown by Fresh Origins Farm, the leading national producer of both common and unique microgreens, located in San Diego, California. Harvested approximately 14-25 days after sowing, Petite® Silver Leaf Sorrel is used by chefs as a garnish to add an unusual shape, earthy green hues, and a soft, citrus flavor into both savory and sweet dishes.

It can also be layered in sandwiches or placed on top of desserts such as ice cream and dark chocolate.
