What`s the difference between sorrel and spinach ?
SORREL...... Rumex aecetosa , a spinach like vegetable , with narrow pointed oval leaves. My reference says it is also known as broad leafed sorrel , looking at the photo , I can`t see any difference between that labelled broad leafed sorrel and spinach.
SPINACH........ Spinacia oleracia , used as a vegetable and can be pureed as a base for other food .
In my supermarket ....I can purchase English spinach , which has narrow , pointed , oval shaped leaves and are acidic.......mmm, maybe this is sorrel .
Australian grown spinach is a short , broader , rounded leaf with a mild taste.
