Pick of the Week - Rhubarb

Written By Harrisfarm Market - September 26 2023

“My pick this week is rhubarb. In Spring, rhubarb plants really come to life.

Rhubarb is one of the few vegetables that grow all year around; in the hottest of summer to massive frosts in winter. The red stalks are delicious but whatever you do, don't eat the leaves as they are poisonous!

Great in desserts such as cakes, crumbles, pies, and tarts or stewed. My personal favourite recipe is as a compote. Add it with cereals and berries for breakfast - it is hard to beat. The stewed product keeps well in an airtight container for a week or two.

Now is the best time of year for rhubarb!”

– David Harris

 

HOW TO PICK

Pick crisp, plump stalks that are long and brightly coloured.

HOW TO STORE

Remove and discard leaves. Store the stalks in an HFM swag bag and placed in the fruit & veg section of fridges.
