Beautiful, even if you’re not going to harvest the food from it!

We are seeing a “green” trend whereby people are planting their own fruit, veggies and herbs, not only because they can control the conditions in which they grow, i.e. organic & natural, but they’re saving money in this economic downturn too.

Also, it’s fun to see your food grow, especially for kids!

What Can I Do With Rhubarb?
Rhubarb is a integral part of some of my fondest memories as a child.

When I was hungry or bored, mom would send me out to our huge rhubarb plant to cut the stalks for her to make something delicious for me…

…or she would send me outside with a small saucer of sugar to dunk the fresh stalks into to eat raw.

Mom’s rhubarb pies and mouse (German fruit stew) are so amazing.

A few days ago, I harvested a laundry tub full of rhubarb stalks, which after chopping into 1″ chunks filled 4 large Ziplocs to the brim.

To easily store your rhubarb for future tasty treats, wash, chop and put into large Ziploc freezer bags with 1 cup of sugar mixed in and freeze until ready for use.

This year, I’m making some rhubarb jams - delicious mixed with fresh, local strawberries too.

I’m also going to can some rhubarb chutney, which will be fantastic for appetizers, or hors d’oeuvres anytime!

What Else is Rhubarb Good For?
Rhubarb is a hearty plant that can often grow where no other plants will. Place them in areas where the garden is bare or you simply cannot grow anywhere else.

Also, when we harvest the rhubarb stalks, we cut off the large leaf at the end and place them in between the rows of the veggie garden to prevent weeds from coming up and they hold the moisture in the ground longer too.

Nutrition & Health Benefits of Rhubarb:
Due to it’s slight laxative effect, rhubarb roots and the like have been used as “slimming” agents in the diet industry for years, as well as being used in body cleanses the world over.

Rhubarb is low in calories, until sugar is added to it, at 28 calories for 1 cup.

In just 1 cup, you’re getting 74 mg of your Omega-6 Fatty Acids, 50% of your daily required intake of Vitamin K, it’s full of Vitamin C & Calcium too, not to mention a myriad of other nutrients we all need.
