Rhubarb

Written By Heather Chapman

Rhubarb, with its sharp, tangy taste, is perfect for making pies, preserves, sauces, or adding a unique twist to savory dishes like stews or marinades. In Durham Region, it’s typically harvested from late spring to early summer, offering a bold, refreshing flavor that brightens up any recipe.

Often paired with sweeter fruits like strawberries, rhubarb’s tartness balances out rich, sugary flavors, making it a versatile ingredient in both traditional and creative dishes.

Whether you’re baking a classic dessert or experimenting with savory combinations, rhubarb is sure to bring a fresh burst of flavor to your kitchen.
