These leaves have a distinctly tangy flavour reminiscent of wild sorrels, with a hint of lemon or granny smith apple peel. Their texture is crisp and juicy, making them an excellent addition to fresh dishes.
The tangy flavour is addictive and refreshing, perfect for balancing richer recipes. The texture of the leaves is firm yet soft to chew, with a slight crunch.
They can be used in various ways:
- in salads - chopped to add a citrusy touch;
- as plate decoration - their vivid appearance and unique texture make them a great choice;
- as a garnish for fish or grilled meats, providing a tasty contrast;
- stuffed with tuna, salmon, or white fish to create a type of mini ceviche.
