It grows like a vegetable, but it is cooks and eats like a fruit.
It is also the first, of the Season, to ripen. When ripe, the fruit is green and crisp.
And the leaves are poisonous. Its the Rhubarb plant that anyone can grow.

| The green stalk plant is a more rubust grower than the red stalk plant, but the red stalks are more popular. The stalks are full of vitamin C and K. |
The classic dishes for rhubarb combines it with strawberries for pie or jams or crumbles.
But strawberries are not ripe here yet.
So I decided to make a rhubarb compote.
Compote is fruit sauce for yogurt or ice-cream or to spoon over cake.
