In the summer, rhubarb primarily undergoes photosynthesis and growth. During photosynthesis, the plant converts sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose, which fuels its development. Additionally, rhubarb experiences rapid growth as it produces new leaves and thickens its stalks, driven by the energy gathered through photosynthesis. This combination of processes allows the plant to thrive during the warm months.

If two things are happening simultaneously, it means that they are happening at the same time. For example, if you said something in response to someone and the person next to you said the same thing at the same exact time, that would be happening simultaneously.

A cup is a measure of volume while pounds is a measure of weight so a direct calculation is difficult. If we only take liquid weight into account, one cup is eight ounces and two pounds would be 32 ounces so two pounds of rhubarb would equate to 4 cups.
There are several varieties of rhubarb, but they can be broadly categorized into two main types: culinary rhubarb, which is commonly used in cooking and baking, and ornamental rhubarb, which is grown primarily for decorative purposes. Within the culinary category, popular varieties include 'Victoria,' 'Crimson Cherry,' and 'Rhu-barb.' Each variety can differ in color, flavor, and texture, but all share the characteristic tartness that makes rhubarb a unique ingredient.
The taro and the artichoke fit that description.

Rhubarb is ripe when the stalk is a dark red. If its still mostly green, it's not ready to be picked yet, unless you want it really sour! Actually, there are two types of rhubarb and several varieties of each type. Red rhubarb emerges with a red stalk that is completely red. It's ready to pick whenever you're ready to pick it, and a rhubarb that is constantly harvested will continue to send out new stalks until it gets too cool at night. Green rhubarb emerges green and will never turn completely red, no matter how long you wait. Some varieties will have a reddish base when the stalks get very thick. Both varieties do not get 'sweeter' as the stalks get bigger.
