Rhubarb Month takes place throughout October and celebrates rhubarb, a vegetable known for its sweet-and-tart stalk. The stalk can be used in desserts and wines, and it readily takes on the flavors of other fruits and berries.
Only the stalk is eaten; rhubarb leaves are poisonous. Rhubarb Month’s origin has not been identified.
How to Observe Rhubarb Month
Celebrate by using rhubarb in cooking. Try it in a dessert or another dish with fruit or berries, and remember to use only the stalk—not the leaves.
