Sorrel
Sorrel is a wonderfully tart treat that highlights it’s high amount of vitamin C.
Sorrel is a nutritional powerhouse, providing significant amounts of important micronutrients including vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that helps you to maintain healthy vision, skin, immune function, growth, and reproductive health. You'll also get a significant boost of vitamin C (64 mg or 106 percent of your daily recommended intake) an important antioxidant that helps your body to resist infection. Its potassium helps to lower one's blood pressure and increase blood circulation. 1-cup serving of sorrel provides about 4 grams of fiber to help you maintain regular bowel movements, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar. Sorrel also contains oxalic acid which can be harmful in high dosages, but it would require an enormous amount of sorrel to be consumed on a daily basis before it becomes threatening.
