is all rhubarb red? The reason I ask is that my neighbor gave me some today that she'd gotten from her son. she'd made a pie with some of it but had more than she wanted. I've never used it myself but wanted to try a pie since I've heard they are really good. After I got it inside and looked more carefully, only one of the stalks has the smallest area of red near the base, the rest are all green. I know the leaves are toxic (oxalic acid) and wonder if these green stalks are safe to try, or if there is a variety that doesn't turn red?

Martha Stewart Magazine has a huge article on rhubarb this month.
The website might have some of the information.
Let me know if you make it. I've never tasted it before!

I'd also love to know how it turns out! We have only ever had rhubarb in smoothies. It makes them a little sour.

it's a veriety thing... my rhubarb is almost khaki colored.
Rhubarb relish- awesome on grilled pork or chicken
slice a heap of rhubarb(maybe 6 stalks)
in a non reactive pan combine with a few teaspoons of grated ginger and about 3/4 cup sugar. Slowly heat up- this will let the rhubarb emit some liquid. Boil until thick. You can add golden raisins or finely diced red onion. and or some toasted walnuts (add at last minute- they go soggy) doesnt sound like much but it is yummy.
