There are several uses of sheep sorrel in the preparation of food including a garnish, a tart flavouring agent, a salad green, and a curdling agent for milk in cheese-making, the leaves have a lemony, tangy or rhubarb-like tart flavour.

A vital food source for the caterpillars of the Small Copper Butterfly shown in our image gallery.
