How to Harvest Rhubarb
To harvest rhubarb solidly grasp the stem and twist to the side and pull to remove. Do not cut the stalks.
Trim the leaves in a fan pattern for storing in the fridge or trim the tops completely if you plan to use the rhubarb right away.
Whether stalks are red or green doesn't affect flavour, but the red stalks are generally preferred to make the beautiful pink colour often associated with rhubarb desserts...
