What is it?
Rhubarb is a perennial, native to Asia, and is grown primarily for its red petioles, which are used to impart a tart flavor to pies and other desserts. It is actually in the same family as buckwheat. The leaf blades contain oxalic acid and are thus
poisonous.
Rhubarb does not tolerate hot temperatures well, and it needs cold winters to break dormancy.
Hints:
Cook fresh rhubarb for sauce with whatever water adheres to the stalks after washing -- don't add any more. Add sugar to taste.
Don't forget that rhubarb leaves are poisonous. Eat only the stems.
Pick stalks when they are as thick as your thumb by twisting (not cutting) them off near the base of the plant.
For easy harvesting, gather the outside stems first.
