Rhubarb is a perennial favorite for home gardens around the country. Gardeners begin to harvest rhubarb in the middle of May and early June, one of the first fruits of their labours, and it makes its way into desserts and preserves. It is an excellent complement to many dishes because it takes on the taste of the fruit or vegetable it is paired with.

Not only is rhubarb known for making delectable baked goods and satisfying the hankering for something from the garden early in the season, but it also has many other attributes. Rub a cut stalk of rhubarb over a smoldert skillet and let the high oleic acid content do the job. It has been a key ingredient in many cleansers for more than 100 years.

Rhubarb leaves are poisonous to humans because they are so high in oxalic acid. The stalks, on the other hand, are a convenient, abundant, and healthful source of oxalic acid. The benefits of eating rhubarb can help reduce blood pressure, increase your body's ability to burn fat, and produce brain myelin. Now, that's a reason to celebrate National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day!
