Rhubarbe, a unique plant originating from Asia, is widely used in desserts and savory dishes across various cuisines. Although botanically classified as a vegetable, its tart, vibrant stalks are often treated like fruit in culinary applications. Rich in fiber, vitamin K, and antioxidants, rhubarb supports digestion, bone health, and combats oxidative stress. It is naturally low in calories and fat, making it a favorable choice for weight-conscious diets. However, the leaves of rhubarb contain high levels of oxalic acid and should never be consumed, as they are toxic. While often paired with sugar to balance its tangy flavor, excessive sweetening can diminish its nutritional benefits. Rhubarbe's distinctive taste and nutrient profile make it a versatile ingredient for jams, pies, and sauces, offering both sweet and savory culinary delight.
