Rhubarb grows from the ground, like a vegetable – but is generally consumed as a fruit. The edible part is the thick pinkish to bright red stalk while the leaf, containing high amounts of oxalic acid, is poisonous and should never be eaten. The stalk is extremely sour so it is typically prepared by boiling or baking with 20% sugar. Rhubarb is used in pies, tarts, crumbles and other desserts. It is high in fiber, thus it is used to aid digestion and promote weight loss. It is also high in calcium and vitamins A, C, and K. The amazing health benefits attributed to rhubarb include support for cardiovascular diseases, prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, certain cancers, and other chronic diseases and improvement in blood circulation and bone health.
