Rhubarb
Produce Tip

Originally cultivated by the Chinese, Rhubarb is botanically a vegetable, yet referred to as a fruit due to predominately being paired with strawberries in compotes and pies.

The two main varieties of Rhubarb are field grown Cherry and hot house grown Strawberry.  Cherry Rhubarb, available from April to July, is tangy, tart and has dark greenish red stalks.  Strawberry Rhubarb grown in a greenhouse, available from January through June, has a smoother texture, sweeter flavor and pink to bright red stalks.

Remove any leaves or roots from the Rhubarb before preparing.
