Description
Image is a little girl choosing rhubarb at the Boulder Market in Boulder, Colorado. Rhubarb is an herbaceous perennial growing from short, thick rhizomes. It has large leaves that are somewhat triangular and small flowers.
In culinary use, fresh raw petioles (leaf stalks) are crisp (similar to celery) with a strong, tart taste. Usually, the plant's leaf stalks are cooked with sugar and used in pies and other desserts. Rhubarb is usually considered to be a vegetable; however, in the United States, a New York court decided in 1947 that since it was used in the United States as a fruit, it was to be counted as a fruit for the purposes of regulations and duties. A side effect was a reduction on imported rhubarb tariffs, as tariffs were higher for vegetables than fruits.
