Traditionally, summer houses use sorrel in the menu in the spring and at the very beginning of summer, but by mid-June, even the workpiece of his leaves finish - do not frozen and do not preserve. In the second half of the season, he begins to accumulate a lot of harmful oxalic acid.
It generally became a curse for sorrel, something like stamps, as it was in it for the first time was discovered. But this does not mean that the leaves of the plant - the champions on the content of this substance. For example, in spinach, which is proclaimed superal, oxalic acid is greater. Her a lot and in other vegetables - rhubarb, Amarantte, tomatoes.
What other fears and prejudices are associated with sorrel cut down at the end of the season? Yes, it seems to be quite logical: since mid-June, plants are not cut off, the amount of oxalic acid in the leaves simply rolls. However, according to scientists, in the fall, this is no longer a substance in the old leaves, it is represented by an insoluble form, much less harmful to the body.
Of course, it is desirable that the sorrelic acid in plants accumulates less. Significantly affect this weather conditions and correct agrotechnics. Heat and droughts contribute to an increase in the content of harmful substance, and watering and good care - decrease. So autumn coolness, more frequent rains and a short day for sorrel are beneficial. For him now create the same conditions as in spring. And from us you need to show a little attention to unpretentious, but still loving the care of plants.
