What can you do with rhubarb, food wise?


I cannot believe you mean it!!

Tens of acres of rhubarb are grown in dark sheds to produce the blanched
stalks and are as deliceous as any fruit. The plants are only used once and
replanted each year.
Others have provided recipes of which there are no end.
The actual leaf is known to be poisonous and as students we could detect
no difference bettween the chemistry of stalks and leaves.
Technically both are equally poisonous but our guts have yet to find out!!
