Rhubarb



Rhubarb is a tart perennial vegetable, although we tend to use it as a fruit. You want to only eat the stalks as the leaves are poisonous. Look for it in mid-April, give or take weather.

Storage: Rhubarb should be refrigerated; the vegetable drawer in the fridge is perfect. It is still usable when limp, but you will get the best flavor and texture when rhubarb is firm.

Preparation: Remove the leaves (poisonous), and wash. You can eat rhubarb raw, but it is very tart so most people choose to cook with it.
