Sorrel is rich in vitamins C and E, and contains valuable trace elements such as iron, magnesium, copper and zinc. It also contains chlorophyll and carotene. Carotene is an antioxidant with a recognized role in the fight against cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and deterioration of eyesight. Sorrel is also said to have aperitive, digestive, refreshing, depurative, tonic and laxative properties, although its consumption is not recommended for people suffering from gastric hyperacidity, rheumatism, haemorrhoids or kidney problems, due to its high oxalic acid content.
