Rumex acetosa
Green Apple and Lemon flavored green perennial herb used as a tangy salad green. The leaves can be cooked like spinach or used in soups or sauces. It grows as a clump reaching 18" tall with leaves 2" across and makes an attractive border planting. A very hardy plant that will continue to provide a crop when the rest of your fresh garden greens are suffering either from heat or cold.
Chef Jeff’s tip: Gather the leaves when the plants are young. They don't have much taste when they're dried, so it's best to use them fresh or freeze them.
