Research has shown that sorrel is immensely beneficial to our health. It is used in culinary recipes such as soup and salads. The leaves are also dried and used to make sorrel juice.
Here are the benefits of drinking sorrel juice.
1. Highly nutritious
The high nutrient content of sorrel juice makes it a healthy option for many seeking alternatives to coffee and carbonated drinks. It is low in calories, fats, and carbohydrates.
A single cup of raw sorrel, which is approximately 130 grams, contains just 29 kilojoules of calories, a gram of fat, and four grams of carbohydrates.
Sorrel juice also contains protein and several trace elements such as
Magnesium
Manganese
Copper
Potassium
Iron
And Phosphorus
Vitamins A, B6, C, and riboflavin are also present. Vitamin A helps protect eyesight while vitamin C is essential for healthy skin. Magnesium plays a role in the development of strong bones.
2. Rich in fiber
Food rich in dietary fiber is excellent for improving gut functions and preventing gastrointestinal problems.
Fiber promotes proper digestion, aiding the proper functioning of the digestive tract. It maintains regular bowel movement, ridding the body of waste and boosting gut health. It helps prevent constipation, diarrhea, cramping, and bloating.
Fibers are readily absorbed into the bloodstream and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. Keeping cholesterol low, reduces the risk of complications like atherosclerosis, and stroke.
3. Regulates blood pressure
Increased blood pressure is caused by the contraction or blockage of blood vessels. This can be a result of illnesses or conditions like atherosclerosis, high cholesterol levels, etc.
High blood pressure or hypertension can lead to complications that can be fatal. It is quite difficult to cure, thus, it should be prevented.
Sorrel juice is rich in potassium, a micronutrient that is associated with lower blood pressure. Potassium is essential for stabilizing body fluids which it does by relaxing body vessels, allowing smoother passage of blood.
4. Improves vision
Sight is the primary sense of human beings and the eye organs should be given utmost priority. Cataracts and macular degeneration often plaque most people as they grow older, a good reason why eyesight-friendly meals should be consumed.
Vitamin-A-rich foods like sorrel are excellent for improving eyesight. Vitamin A prevents eye defects like long-sightedness and astigmatism. It also prevents age-related sight problems.
Beta-carotene, an antioxidant and a variant of vitamin A, boosts night vision in combination with other antioxidants.
5. Good source of Iron
Iron deficiency results in blood-related complications like leukemia. Iron boosts the production of red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body.
Low oxygen circulation affects the body negatively. Symptoms include
Thinning of hair
General body weakness
And Poor healing
6. Boosts immune system
Having a strong immune system protects the body from several infections. Natural body immunity, provided mainly by white blood cells, will kill off germs before infection starts. The skin also provides immunity from harmful microbes in the environment.

Lol:) It's funny that this video about sorrel is all wrong!!! They're talking about two different plants at the same time, an AI error.... There is a leafy green called sorrel, and the other one is a hibiscus plant flower better known as sorrel or Jamaican sorrel that has the reddish color when made into a drink.

[@steps9311]

The leave that's a totally different plant🤣 the drink is made with hibiscus flowers not leaves 😳
