Rhubarb Stalk

Known for its intense, puckery tartness and reddish-pink color that sometimes transitions down the stalk to lime green, rhubarb is most commonly used in pies, crisps and crumbles. To make stewed rhubarb that's great for topping ice cream, chop up the stalks and simmer in sugar and water. To use rhubarb in a baked dessert, cut into chunks and toss them in sugar.
