Rhubarb Nutrition
Two-thirds a cup of cut
rhubarb contains 21 calories, 24% RDA of calcium and
9% RDA of Vitamin C.
Peel or Not to Peel?
Don't peel! The
coloring and many vitamins are stored in rhubarb's
skin.
Pie Crust/Pastry
All of the pie recipes
here do not give the recipe for the crust, or
pastry. Either purchase pre-made crusts or
check your favorite cookbook, such as the Fannie
Farmer Cookbook for recipe.
To Keep Juices in Pies
Keep the juice in your
pies instead of your oven. Sprinkle two
rounding tablespoons of fine breadcrumbs into your
pie, one on the bottom and the other mixed with the
rhubarb.
To Freeze Rhubarb
Wash and trim crisp
stalks. Line up a bunch on the cutting board
and cut in even half-inch or inch pieces. Pack
in freezing containers without sugar and freeze
quickly.
