Rhubarb

Rhubarb is a hardy perennial with large, green leaves and pink or red stalks. Most frequently used in desserts and jams, rhubarb provides a deliciously tart flavour that compliments other dessert fruits quite well (especially strawberries!!). Rhubarb loves cool weather and provides one of the earliest spring harvests. Enjoy it after its second year and make sure to eat only the stems, not the leaves.
