What Is Red Vein Sorrel?
Red vein sorrel is a leafy green vegetable known for its distinctive deep red or burgundy veins that run through its tender leaves. This striking plant belongs to the sorrel family and offers both visual appeal and a unique tangy flavor that makes it a favorite among gardeners and culinary enthusiasts.
Growing Red Vein Sorrel
Red vein sorrel thrives in cool-season gardens and prefers well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Plant seeds directly in the garden in early spring or fall, spacing them about 6 inches apart. The plant grows quickly and can be harvested within 4 to 6 weeks of planting. It prefers partial shade in warmer climates but can tolerate full sun in cooler regions.
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Red vein sorrel is relatively low-maintenance and doesn't require heavy fertilization. Pinch off flower buds as they appear to encourage leaf production and extend the harvest season.
Harvesting and Using Red Vein Sorrel
Begin harvesting outer leaves once the plant is established, allowing the center to continue growing. Young leaves are more tender and have a milder flavor than mature ones. The tangy, slightly lemony taste makes red vein sorrel perfect for fresh salads, soups, and sauces. It can also be wilted into dishes like spinach or used as a colorful garnish. Appx. 55 days to maturity.
Nutritional Benefits
Red vein sorrel is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium. Its vibrant color indicates the presence of beneficial antioxidants. Adding this leafy green to your diet is an easy way to boost nutrition while enjoying its distinctive flavor.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
