Rhubarb

Rhubarb is a vegetable with a distinctive taste, a traditional favourite for use in pies and desserts. It was initially grown for medicinal purposes being rich in vitamin C and dietary fibre. The edible varieties can be grown for either forced or regular production.

Many people do not know that Rhubarb can be eaten raw. It is very sour and may need some sweetening either through honey or sugar but the stems can be eaten without being cooked. The leaves should always be avoided as these are poisonous.

We grow Rhubarb in 1 litre pots please see the latest availability. They are packed in trays of 8 and every pot has its own colour care card.
