Rhubarb

EverydayFresh

Rhubarb is a spring vegetable characterized by its long, pink to red celery-like stalks and distinctively tart flavor. While only the stalks are edible (as the leaves are toxic), these provide significant amounts of vitamin K, antioxidants, and dietary fiber while being naturally low in calories. The stalks are most commonly cooked with sugar to balance their natural sourness and featured in pies, jams, and other desserts, though they can also be used in savory dishes.
