sorrels

Tart leafy greens

Sorrels is the plural of sorrel, which names two unrelated things.

One is a plant with arrow-shaped leaves that taste sour and acidic, used in salads and soups: The chef garnished the dish with fresh sorrels.

The other is a reddish-brown color, particularly describing horses: Three sorrels grazed in the paddock.
