Sweeter and milder than other varieties Rhubarb: Rhubarb is a perennial vegetable that is commonly grown for its edible stalks, which have a distinctive tart flavor. It belongs to the same family as sorrel and buckwheat and is native to Asia, although it has been cultivated in Europe and North America for centuries. The stalks of rhubarb grow to be quite long and thick. They are typically harvested in the spring and early summer, before they become tough and stringy. Low-calorie yet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin K, vitamin C, and calcium, the stalks can be eaten raw or cooked, and are often used in desserts, such as pies and crisps, as well as in savory dishes like sauces and chutneys.
