About Dock, raw
Dock and sorrel (genus Rumex) are leafy wild greens in the buckwheat family, found across meadows, roadsides, and gardens throughout the temperate world. Their arrow-shaped leaves carry a bright, lemony, tart flavor thanks to natural oxalic acid, ranging from the sharp tang of garden sorrel to the milder bite of broad-leaf dock. These greens are low in calories yet rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants, and they have a long history in both the kitchen and folk medicine.
Sorrel is the classic base for the silky French sorrel soup and a zesty sauce for fish, and the tender young leaves brighten salads, omelets, and stews, while older leaves are best cooked, which softens their sourness. Because of their oxalic acid, they are best enjoyed in moderation. Picking young, unblemished leaves gives the mildest, most tender flavor. Choose crisp, vivid green bunches with no wilting, and store dock and sorrel wrapped in the refrigerator, using the delicate leaves within a couple of days.
