I was just looking at lostandfound's card on the sticky above and noticed that rhubarb is on the list of veggies . How do you guys prepare rhubarb as a veggie?

Re: Rhubarb
Hmmmm... this interests me too. I've always prepared it as a dessert. That it's listed as a legal veggie is a bonus for we Atkineers!

Re: Rhubarb
Its listed as a vege but i have only ever seen it used as a fruit -- I stew it with some splenda and serve it with cream - So i feel like i am getting FRUIT when really its a vege! ( YUM) Are you able to grow it from seed? if so maybe you can grow some in your garden SAlly ! Somehow I dont think it would seem right to be used as a "vege"!
Whatever you do though -- DO NOT EAT THE LEAVES as they are posionous!

Re: Rhubarb
I doubt you'd be able to grow it in Italy - it likes cold winters and hates hot dry weather!!
I've had it with duck and it's very good. Made it like this:
Put 1 large rhubarb stalk (chopped), about 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, one tablespoon of Splenda and 2 tablepoons of water in a saucepan, and simmer until the rhubarb is just tender, stirring all the time. It'll only take about 2-3 mins. Drain off the water and serve on the crispy duck. It's kind of sweet and sour and goes very well with the duck.
I imagine that might go well with pork also, though I have not tried it.Kate

Re: Rhubarb
Oh my, I know what I'm serving with my turkey this year on Thanksgiving. I always try to come up with some kind of a cranberry dish and it never tastes the way I want it to. I love rhubarb!!! I never thought about putting a little cream with it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.Michele SW250/CW 226/GW150 F, 38, 5'6"

Re: Rhubarb
Tks for the suggestion.Originally posted by ChickladyGrow it! It's quite an interesting monster of a plant
Actually, I did try once, a few years ago... it didn't die, but it didn't thrive either. Never grew big enough for a crop. Then we sold the house...
Maybe I should try again.Before and after:

Re: Rhubarb
I chop it and simmer it in water and alittle sweetener. I use it as you would cranberry sauce.
I use it raw in "slaw"--slice it into matchsticks and mix it with a mild-tasting veg like jicama and/or celery, mayonnaise and a little onion.~Megs~

Re: Rhubarb
Yes!!Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: Rhubarb
I didn't realize until I was telling my mother about using it at Thanksgiving that we can't find it this time of year. Do you know if they sell it in stores in the fall/winter?Michele SW250/CW 226/GW150 F, 38, 5'6"
