Woodsorrel Pesto Recipe


Wood sorrel is the name of the little clover like leaves you see everywhere on the premises of the Thai Child Development Foundation and Eco-Logic Thailand. They are completely edible (roots, leaves, flowers) and taste a bit sour. The Thai name is SomDin (earth orange).

This little creeper makes a great decoration for drinks and meals, can be eaten as a salad, turned into a great pesto and makes a wonderful tea. Scroll down for the pesto recipe.
