What can I tell you about rhubarb, that you might want to know?
- It's a vegetable, not a fruit (FACT)
- It was first used as a cure-all powder in China in about 2700BC (FACT)
- Rhubarb crumble is the best pudding ever (PROBABLY FACT)
And this weekend it's the annual Yorkshire Rhubarb Festival
and that is well worth a visit (FACT).
You get to enter the mysterious forcing sheds where, by candlelight,
you can actually hear the rhubarb growing!
