Is sorrel better then cranberry?

does it contain more v-c

Is sorrel better then cranberry?
There are different plants called sorrel:


Oxalis- and Rumex- species ( the leaves are used ) and Hibiscus sabdariffa, cultivated for its fleshy calyxes used in tarts and jelly and for its bast fiber. I suppose, that`s the one you ask for.





Cranberries, the fruits of Vaccinium macrocarpon, contain 7-38mg/% vit.C and the Red Sorrel 2,5-10mg/%





Both have their own place for kitchen use and as medical herb ( different taste,different effects ), so the higher Vit.C content of cranberries is the only criterium, which makes them "better".
Reply:no, but it taste better.
