Rhubarb – a spring treat with added health benefits

Spring is here – and so is rhubarb season. 

Rhubarb, often mistaken for a fruit, is actually a vegetable.  It’s known for its sour taste and thick stalks.  Rhubarb originated in Asia and has been used medicinally for thousands of years.  Rhubarb’s popularity didn’t grow until sugar became more affordable and readily available.  It’s typically cooked down and used for pies, in jellies, or in cobblers.
