Tips
Nutrition bonus: Vitamin C (83% daily value), Vitamin A (48% dv).
Tip: Sorrel, a lemony-tasting, leafy green herb, contains high amounts of oxalic acid, which imparts a tart flavor. Spinach–along with a good squeeze of lemon juice–makes an excellent substitute.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
