Do you cook with Rhubarb?

Hey guys. A friend of mine has this beautiful rhubarb plant in their garden. Although it is not riped yet, we cut a stalk, removed the leaf and tried it out. It has a sour taste to it but refreshing.

I know rhubarb is known for its yummy pies and jams but I like it raw. Try it on salads or add it to the glowing green smoothie ;-)

 

I am definitely purchasing a rhubarb plant to add it to my vegetable garden. Rhubarb is a perennial and a very hardy vegetable. 

Rhubarb stems can be eaten raw or cooked. Only rhubarb stalks can be eaten, leafs are discarded as they are poisonous. 

Rhubarb is a rich source of dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
