Does your rhubarb (is you are growing it) have red or green stalks?
Are the green stalks ok to eat.:hand:
I know the leaves are off limits (although something in my garden likes them).
I prefer hot house red rhubarb...but that is a tricky thing to do...
We grow both here in IL. Will be bringing about 6 plants up to Timberon to transplant. They are red stalks. But yes you can eat both types of stems. Just not the leaves. I have found the green is a bit more tart so you have to do more sugar.
How many plants do you have? They do take a lot of water to really be good.
Jane, have you ever made strawberry/rhubarb pie. My mother made it every summer growing both the strawberries and rhubarb ( red stalk ) in our garden. One of the family favorites.

I am working on a rhubarb with other ingredients in it.. Just don't tell Song Its for the pie contest in Timberon on July 4th. But its not strawberrys..
I'd be quite willing to try it if you bring it! I've enjoyed your recipes!!
There is a new Mexican restaurant somewhere on north White Sands that I am going to go find...!
Hope their salsa is hot enough for you!
