I LOVE rhubarb!!! Whether it’s just with custard or in a pie – or as a crumble..even a yogurt. It’s a great veg/fruit.
I usually sweeten it with honey rather than sugar when having it just with custard.

Another advantage of it is – it makes you GO! (to the toilet!) If you suffering from not being able to go – get rhubard!!

@Debbie – Yes it should be safe to eat. Wash well, cut the ends off and peel the outside strand and you should be good to go.

I am almost positive that I saw rhubarb growing wild on the side of the road leading into my neighborhood. Is that possible? If so, would it be safe to harvest and eat?

[...] Oh and just as a bit of a side note, a couple of weeks ago I posted about the Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves I had made and a couple of people asked me what rhubarb was. I’ve found a great explanation for you here. [...]

While a lot of people love to make pies and cobblers using rhubarb, I often just throw 2 cups into a pot and add 1/2 cup of sugar and just gently simmer it on the stove for a couple of hours. (You can add more sugar if you want it sweeter.)

The I chill the rhubarb sauce and use it on ice cream, toast or whatever as you might use jam. Delicious!

Thanks so much for posting. Very interesting info!! One of the first pie’s I ever made was Strawberry Rhubarb and it was love at first taste! Have you ever used Rhubarb in savory dishes? I’m interesting in testing it out!

I actually just picked up a bag of frozen rhubarb, for the sheer novelty of it; I have never tasted rhubarb. Do you have any suggestions on how best to use frozen rhubarb?

Also, I read just the other day that rubbing rhubarb on a rust spot on your pans will neutralize the rust and allow you to just wash it away. (My husband wants to try it on a vehicle now.)

So, I am definitely new to Rhubarb as I have never used it! I don’t even know where to begin. How do I use it? How can I cut it? Do I throw out some parts and keep others? I just have no idea so any help would be awesome!! Thanks in advance!
