The sour leaves are edible, especially loved by children. (Ref. Oman Botanic Garden). In Omani studies: Pickering & Patzelt (2008) wrote that: "Toxic to livestock". (Ref. Field Guide to the Wild Plants of Oman; 2008). In addition, Patzelt (2015) mentioned that: "The leaves of wood sorrel are edible, with a tangy taste of lemons. A drink can be made by infusing the leaves in hot water for about 10 minutes, sweetening and then chilling. The plant is rich in Vitamin C". (Ref. Photographic Field Guide to the Plants of the Western Hajar Mountains; 2015).
