This begs the old gardening cliché~~ "Do you put horse manure on your
rhubarb?"
"No~~only sugar!"

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!!
