Rhubarb - this is another vegetable/fruit that you can buy a small shoot of in a pound store, plant it out in the back garden and off it goes. Rhubarb has also been used as a natural dye! We always make this crumble when our rhubarb is ready to pick. By adding the sugar bit by bit you can achieve just the right amount of sweetness, because rhubarb on it's own is very tart . Easy recipe this - just rhubarb, butter, plain flour and Demerara sugar, but it tastes divine. Rhubarb was first cultivated in the far east more than 2000 years ago. It was initially grown for medical purposes. Check out the amount of natural vitamins, minerals and anti- oxidants in it you can see why. If you have never had rhubarb this way you need to try it. Then just slap on some custard for a sweet treat!
