Rhubarb is a perennial favorite for home gardens around the country. Gardeners begin to harvest rhubarb in the middle of May and early June, one of the first fruits of their labours, and it makes its way into desserts and preserves. Gardeners are among the first fruits of their labours. It takes on the flavor of the fruit or vegetable it is paired with, making it an excellent complement to many recipes.

Rhubarb is best known for making delectable baked goods and satisfying the hankering for something from the garden early in the season, but it also has many other attributes. Rub a cut stalk of rhubarb over a toasted skillet and let the high oleic acid content do the job. It has been a key ingredient in several cleansers for over 100 years.

In fact, Rhubarb's leaves are poisonous to humans because they are so high in oxalic acid. The stalks, on the other hand, are a consumable, abundant, and healthful source of oxalic acid. Rhubarb's health can help reduce blood pressure, increase your body's ability to burn fat, and produce brain myelin. Now, there's a reason to celebrate National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day!
