Wood Sorrel is a small, herbaceous plant belonging to the Oxalidaceae family. It typically features clover-like leaves that are divided into three heart-shaped leaflets. The plant produces delicate, five-petaled flowers that can be white, yellow, or purple, depending on the species. Wood sorrel is commonly found in woodlands, meadows, and gardens. This plant is known for its tangy, sour taste, which comes from the presence of oxalic acid. While it is often used in salads and as a flavoring in various dishes, excessive consumption should be avoided due to the potential toxicity of oxalic acid in large amounts.
