I'm often found hanging with my buddy Lovage

I am considered ancient, but this does not make me bitter. I have been known to be bitter throughout my Spring through Autumn harvest. My leaves are large and green with abroad base. My high acid content is evident in my most popular varieties including Wild, Round-leafed, Garden and French. Of those four varieties the French Rumex scutatus, is the least acidic. Ancient Greeks and Romans considered my high acidity an aid in digestion. I am often found hanging with my buddy Lovage but I can work solo and add a refreshing tartness to many entrees including green salads, sandwiches, cream-based sauces, omelets, soups, quiches, soft cheese, veal, pork, and fish. That's a lot of alliances for a sourpuss! My leaves are very rich in potassium, vitamin A and vitamin C. Although I have a potent bite, I do have a tender side that is used on meats before stewing and braising. Don't be fooled by my English name, as I will not get you high, but I will make you pucker.

What am I?

Spinach
Arugula
Sorrel
Endive
