Is rhubarb a fruit?
Answers:
No its a little tree with very poisonous leaves. Very good when stewed for cleaning metals, just look how shiny your saucepan is where the rhubarb has left a tide mark.
And home made rhubarb wine can prove very strong giving imbibers a sense of floating on air.
veg
No, it is a stalk!
Good question , I always thought it was a weed :))
its a veg. if it grows from the ground it is a veg. if it grows from another plant then its a fruit.
No....but it is normaly used for puddings etc rather than as a veg with the main meal..!!!
Rhubarb is a vegetable and it is part of the Buckwheat Family.
What I learned was: a "fruit" has seeds in it, or on it. So that would make rhubarb a vegetable.
it is a tart vegetable....
A fruit is something that has the seeds in it eg tomato apple orange. an exception to this rule is a strawberry which is the only fruit to have seeds on the outside. A veg, is something that grows from the plant itself eg potatoes has eyes which are the seeds for the new potatoes
No - It's actually a veggie, but used as a fruit (as in pies, etc.)
Yes - it is classed a a vegetable and it must be the worst thing that man has ever put into his mouth. Sadly it has now become trendy with the chefs and they are using it in everything. Not content with the usual rhubarb and custard that forced me into playing truant as a kid every time it was on the lunch menu, they put it in savoury sauces to be served with meat. Stop it please! - it is not worth its space on the planet. Get the weed killer out, hack it down, ban it but don't force us to eat it.
It depends on the context - we usually treat it as a fruit in our diet where it often turns up with custard as a pudding, rather than with your pie and chips like peas.
Botanically and technically it's a vegetable - in this case a stalk like celery, rather than being a plant's reproductive delivery mechanism which is what a fruit is - the plant's way of spreading its seeds around. A tomato is the reverse - a fruit we generally treat as a vegetable.
no
