Does anybody know why Sorrel is prohibited by the USDA?
Question about SORREL?
I am a former chef and there are two foods named Sorrel or Sorel, one is a green leafy herb and is slightly bitter, used in sauce and is alot like a lettuce, sometimes it is available in a puree at gourmet shops, the other ingredient is Sorel is a flower in the Hybiscus family, found all over the Caribbean and in Hawaii, it is used in drinks and punches, dried and add to a boiled sugar solution is a favortie drink at Xmas in the islands of the Caribbean with a squeeze of lime and sometimes a dash of rum for an adult version.
Why either is not allow by the FDA or USDA is a restricted palnt reason or a health issue, what I do not know, I can buy both here in Toronto Canada, fresh sorrel for cooking and dried and sometimes fresh sorel for making the drinks.
