www.goodnewsnetwork.org/photos-yorkshire-winter-forced-rhubarb/To ensure theyโre unable to photosynthesize, the rhubarb gets picked using the very lowest lighting conditionsโby candlelight, with the doors closed. Few farms continue to grow rhubarb is this time-honored way, but the method is much-esteemed by foodies, with over 300 tonnes of the rhubarb being sent to high-end grocery stores each seasonโand even to Buckingham Palace, and potentially, the Queenโs plate. Itโs believed that West Yorkshire once produced 90% of the worldโs winter-forced rhubarb from the forcing sheds within the Rhubarb Triangle.

Catman always knew there was something odd about rhubarb.

Don't like rhubarb, was dared to eat the leaves as a child by one of my brothers but I didn't trust him so I didn't eat the leaves. (same brother that got me to eat rabbit turds after he told me they were chocolate eggs laid by the Easter Bunny)

I love strawberry rhubarb pie. My husband's grandmother use to make stewed rhubarb and strawberries to eat with toast. I've never tried to grow rhubarb though.
