Although rhubarb is more commonly consumed cooked, and the most popular way to use it, it is as a pie, the leaf stalks can be used raw.
In a previous post I mentioned as, when I was a child, my grandmother used to make a rhubarb jam that we ate like a spoon dessert. This was cooked too.
Since I like to eat mostly seasonal foods, I combined two spring/summer fruits in my new recipe: rhubarb and strawberries. I tried to make a smoothie with only rhubarb, but I wasn’t happy with the sour taste. So I added some strawberries – that are in season now – and a banana to add some sweetness and improve the consistency.
If you have some, you can add lemon zest or vanilla. Both tastes combine very well here!
