Rhubarb Seeds & Bare Roots
(2 products)Rhubarb, scientifically known as Rheum rhabarbarum, is a perennial plant that belongs to the family Polygonaceae. It is widely cultivated for its edible stalks, which are used in a variety of culinary preparations. Rhubarb is native to Asia, specifically the regions of Siberia and China, and has been cultivated for centuries for its medicinal and culinary properties.
The rhubarb plant is characterized by its large, thick stalks and large, triangular-shaped leaves. The stalks can vary in color, ranging from green to red, and have a tart, acidic flavor. The leaves, however, are toxic and should not be consumed.
In culinary applications, rhubarb is most commonly used in sweet dishes, such as pies, crumbles, and jams. Its tart flavor pairs well with sweet ingredients, such as sugar and fruits like strawberries and apples. Rhubarb can also be used in savory dishes, such as sauces and chutneys, to add a tangy and unique flavor.
When growing rhubarb in your garden, it is important to note that the plant takes a few years to establish itself before it can be harvested. It is recommended to wait at least two years before harvesting the stalks to allow the plant to develop a strong root system. Harvesting should be done by gently pulling the stalks from the base, taking care not to damage the plant.
The rhubarb plant is a versatile and nutritious addition to any garden. Its tart flavor and vibrant color make it a popular choice for both sweet and savory dishes. With proper care and patience, you can enjoy the benefits of growing and harvesting your own rhubarb.
