KNOW MORE ABOUT RHUBARB

Don’t know much about rhubarb? Don’t worry, we’re here to help. Rhubarbs are technically vegetables but are sold and consumed as fruits. They’ve single stalks which are red in color with one big leaf over its head. You would not want to taste that leaf! Only the stalks of this plant are consumed and not the leaf because of the high concentration of the poisonous oxalic acid in it.
Rhubarbs have a strong aromatic and fruity taste to them.The look and texture of a rhubarb is very similar to a celery. Rhubarb stalks are sour to eat and therefore consumed or cooked with sugar.
