it can keep in the fridge (make sure it's unwashed and in a plastic bag) for 2-3 weeks. When you do use it, make sure the rhubarb isn't wilted, if it is then it isn't fresh and it will taste woody and bitter.

no Oxalic acid is found in rhubarb

The weed that resembles rhubarb is likely "burdock" (Arctium species). Burdock has large, broad leaves that can be similar in appearance to rhubarb, especially when young. However, burdock's leaves are typically more heart-shaped, and the plant features distinctive burrs. While both plants are edible, they have different uses and growth habits.

What nutrients are in Rhubarb? Even though rhubarb is

considered a vegetable, it is

most often treated as a fruit.

Rhubarb provides a good source

of vitamin C, fiber, and calcium.

It is usually eaten cooked, and

just like fresh cranberries,

rhubarb is almost unbearably tart

on its own. It needs the added

sweetness of sugar, honey, or

fruit juice to balance out the

acidity. Since rhubarb is primarily

used for pie, it is also referred to

by it's nickname the "pie plant".

WARNING! Never eat the leaves, neither raw or cooked. Rhubarb leves are toxic!

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.

trim it down and leave it i think

Fresh rhubarb is typically harvested in late spring to early summer, making it difficult to find in December in Scotland. While some growers may have forced rhubarb available in greenhouses, it is generally not in season during winter months. For fresh rhubarb, it’s best to wait until late winter or early spring when it becomes more widely available.

Rhubarb leaves contains oxalate, which have been reported to cause poisoning when large quantities of raw or cooked leaves are ingested.

There is nothing dangerous about it. Rhubarb pie is wonderful!

It grown best in a sunny well drained area

Be sure to completely remove the leaves (they are toxic) then chop the stalks in medium sized pieces. You can eat these directly (they are very tart), cook them in a pan on the stove with sugar until they are soft, put them inside a pie crust with sugar and bake the pie, etc. They can be mixed with various fruits during cooking/baking (strawberries are common).

I've even been experimenting with using rhubarb in making ice cream. For this purpose after cooking, the rhubarb must be cooled and then passed through a food mill to remove all the fibers (their texture in unpleasant in ice cream).

tescos do it

The leaves should not be eaten but the stalks are edible, if you eat too much raw rhubarb stalk you will get a stomach ache. Best to cook it first, tastes much better cooked too.

Wait for the leaves to be fully opened and you can pull from May to August. This information applies to the UK, other area may have different harvest times

the leaves are toxic but not so much as they would kill anybody or animals anyway (unless you ate a lot) they would just have a bad stomach for a while till it passes through

That may be the colour of the variety that you are growing, other than that it is not yet ripe

Rhubarb is a vegetable that looks a lot like celery but is red on its stalk. It has a tangy taste and is often used to make pie on its own or mixed with strawberries.

Rhubarb is also an ancient herbal medicine which has found medicinal value as a laxative.

Yes they can but it might be too hard so cook it first and let it cool before cserving it to your hamster.
