| | | |  | Rhubarb : A member of the buckwheat family, its thick, celerylike stalks of can reach up to 2 feet long,
which are the only edible portion of the plant — the leaves contain oxalic acid and can therefore be toxic. Though rhubarb
is generally eaten as a fruit, it's botanically a vegetable. There are many varieties of this plant, most of which fall into
two basic types, hothouse and field grown. Hothouse rhubarb is distinguished by its pink to pale red stalks and yellow-green
leaves, whereas field or garden-grown plants (which are more pronounced in flavor) have cherry red stalks and green leaves.
Because of its intense tartness, rhubarb is usually combined with a considerable amount of sugar. It makes delicious sauces,
jams and desserts and in some regions is also known as pieplant because of its popularity for that purpose. In America, a traditional
flavor combination is rhubarb and strawberries; in Britain, rhubarb and ginger. Rhubarb contains a fair amount of vitamin
