Green borscht with sorrel and pork is a fragrant dish of Russian cuisine, filled with the freshness of spring herbs and the rich flavor of meat broth. Its roots go back to ancient peasant cooking traditions, where sorrel was used as one of the first green ingredients after a long winter. Tender pork combined with sour sorrel gives the borscht a special depth of flavor, while herbs and green onions make it truly lively and refreshing. This dish is perfect for both family lunches and festive tables, especially when served with boiled eggs and sour cream. Green borscht is not only nutritious but also beneficial due to its abundance of vitamins and minerals. Each spoonful of this soup is a taste of true Russian spring!
