| 339235 | 2005-03-31 04:11:00 | Sadly enough I have a question about Rhubarb My rhubarb is in a greenhouse, but the damn stalks won't turn red, they are still a pretty shade of green, I am wondering if the rhubarb needs real sunlight, not the stuff that filters through the old corrugated plastic/fibreglass roofing (probably about 30 yrs old), any help would be much appreciated (I also notice this rhubarb thread hasn't been picked up by google yet) |

Just goes to show that there isn't much that you can't find out about on the internet, is there? :p Sadly enough I have a question about Rhubarb My rhubarb is in a greenhouse, but the damn stalks won't turn red, they are still a pretty shade of green, I am wondering if the rhubarb needs real sunlight, not the stuff that filters through the old corrugated plastic/fibreglass roofing (probably about 30 yrs old), any help would be much appreciated I don't think you should worry about the colour of it, just the taste. Yours should be less tart than outside grown rhubarb. Varieties: Rhubarb comes in two main varieties: hothouse-grown (pink or light red stalks, with yellow leaves) and field-grown (dark red stalks, with green leaves). The hothouse variety has a somewhat milder flavor and is less stringy. Hothouse rhubarb, on the other hand, has pale pink to pale red stalks and yellow green leaves. The stalks are not as tart as field grown but has the advantage of being available year round. |

| 339242 | 2005-03-31 06:16:00 | There was a Rick Stein programme on a while ago about his Food Heroes. One segment was about some rhubarb growers somewhere in Pongolia who grew their rhubarb in very hot dark conditions in an enclosed house like a mushroom shed. From memory it was also grown quite deep like celery, but I cannot be definite about that. They produced white - pink rhubarb with thick stalks. Apparently much prized in the land of the permanent cloud. |
