Rhubarb – fruit or veg?

Many people make the mistake of thinking rhubarb is a fruit. In fact, it’s technically a vegetable. It’s an amazing ingredient in pies, crumbles, jams and jellies, hence the belief that it’s a fruit.

Only the stalks of the rhubarb plant are edible – the leaves are poisonous and are removed at the harvesting stage.

A perennial plant, rhubarb grows best in wet, cooler climates – which makes the UK an ideal home!

What does rhubarb taste like?

Raw rhubarb has a crunchy texture with a tart sour taste, a little bit like a granny smith apple.

When you bake rhubarb, however, rhubarb takes on a much sweeter, richer taste. Cooked with a little bit of sugar and something with a little zest, like orange, and it becomes absolutes divine!

Other essential ingredients

Here are some of the ingredients you’ll be using in this recipe:

  • Ginger Nuts – a ginger biscuity base will really complement the fresh, zesty rhubarb. If you want an extra indulgent biscuit base, go for chocolate ginger biscuits
  • Vanilla pods – a vanilla pod will give your cream cheese mixture a rich, deep vanilla taste
  • Caster sugar – the tartness of the rhubarb will need to be balanced with some caster sugar
  • Icing sugar – mixing some sifted icing sugar into your cream cheese mixture will make it taste heavenly
  • Pink peppercorns – Ok, so this one’s not essential, but if you want to add a subtly sweet, lightly spicy twist to your cheesecake topping, get some pink peppercorns

Is rhubarb healthy?

Rhubarb is packed full of essential vitamins and minerals. These include vitamin C and K, calcium, potassium and lutein.

It’s beneficial to health in a variety of ways, including helping to build a healthy immune system, improving bone strength, helping weight loss and supporting stable blood sugar levels.

Rhubarb was also long been used as a traditional Chinese medicine to help promote stomach and intestinal health.

What is forced rhubarb?

Forcing rhubarb is a process that involves covering the rhubarb to prevent them receiving light. This encourages the plants to grow early, producing rhubarb that is sweeter and more delicately flavoured, with a vibrant pink colouring.

The process of forcing rhubarb has its roots firmly in Yorkshire. In 1877, the world’s first forcing sheds were constructed. Heat was produced by burning excess coal from local mines, helping to produce an early yield of rhubarb during a time of year when other fruit was scarce.

So, forcing rhubarb is a process born out of necessity, now used to perfect the taste of this already wonderful ingredient.

Rhubarb that isn’t forced is known as maincrop rhubarb. This type normally has thicker stalks that have a deep red colour, although they can sometimes be green.

If you can, get hold of forced rhubarb. It’ll take the taste of your cheesecake to another level.
