Sorrel is a herb with a lemony, tart flavor, often used in salads, soups, and beverages, and also the name of a reddish-brown plant or animal color. In botany, it refers to Rumex acetosa and related species; in cuisine, it denotes the sour-tasting leaves. The term can also denote a light brownish-red hue in textiles and design. Clear pronunciation helps distinguish it from similar-sounding words like sourly or sorrelier in some dialects.
