I decided to plant another medicinal and very useful plant in the garden.
Rhubarb may be unjustly a somewhat overlooked plant, as it contains many vitamins and minerals that have a beneficial effect on our health. In warmer climates it can thrive all year round, otherwise, it can be enjoyed straight from the home garden especially in spring and summer. It is not demanding to grow and can grow up to 15 years. As it has a slightly bitter taste, it can be combined with sweet berries and some other fruit, but if you want to get a sweeter rhubarb, look for one with red stems.
You can use it in pies, pastries, cookies, biscuits, muffins, pizzas, sauces, rice dishes, salads, drinks, or make unusual rhubarb jam or rhubarb bread.
Caution, use only stems, leaves can be poisonous!

I have never heard or seen the plant.
Maybe this plant doesn’t thrive in your country.
Yes. Or, maybe it does but I don’t know. I’m used to leafy greens that are commonly known.
plus it makes Doc’s 3rd all-time favorite pie!
(blueberry 1 and Cherry 2)
You taste very good and it is very similar to my taste.
it is a great pie – my mom used to also make a salad with it that was wonderful.
I have to try the salad. Thanks for the tip.
it is really good in salad
my mom is an amazing cook! We don’t get good rhubarb in Maryland I miss it!
I know this plant but I don’t like it very much!
The plant really has a little special flavor.

Thank you very much. I am glad to have been among the lucky chosen ones. I think this is a great idea for this website.
My grandfather used to grow it, and my Mum would stew it together with apples, which made the taste better for us boys to eat it.
I never liked the taste much otherwise.
I agree it has a specific taste. I often bake pie and add apples and cottage cheese.
I have heard of this plant but I do not have it in my garden
I planted it for the first time last year.
I am familiar with it but I have never tried it.
I use it mostly for compote and pie.
I see it’s used in desserts a lot and I am curious to try it sometime.
Try it maybe you will like it.
I do not know the plant but never grow it or eat it.
Carol DM I am surprised you have never had rhubarb pie!
I have known this plant for a long time. I planted it in the garden for the first time last year.
