Information
Raw rhubarb is quite sour, just as mouth-puckering as lemon. Eating raw rhubarb stalks is completely safe and we recommend trying a little slice the next time you’re cooking with it just to experience its purest flavor.
What rhubarb tastes like is really a question about what it tastes like when it’s cooked with sugar to make it palatable. Then, it tastes pleasantly tart – a bit like green apple – with a very tiny hint of vegetal celery flavor. Many people associate the flavor of rhubarb with strawberries because the two are often paired together (they come into season at the same time, and strawberry’s sweet flavor helps counteract the sour one of rhubarb).
Red stalks have a stronger, sweeter more robust flavor than green stalks, but both are totally fine to cook with.
