So, is rhubarb a vegetable or a fruit? It's a vegetable with a unique fruit-like taste and mostly, we have assoiciated it with pies and desserts. Rhubarb is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, and originally, it was only cultivated for its healing properties. Not until the 18th century was it grown for culinary purposes in America and Great Britain. We use the plant's beautiful red stalks  (petioles) for cooking.
