A couple of handy rhubarb tips:
- If your rhubarb is looking a little droopy, stand it in a jug with some water. Leave for at least 1 hour and voila! Your rhubarb will be revived and ready for cooking.
- Look out for rhubarb that has firm stalks with good colouring on the leaves and stalks. For a stronger flavour, look for green leaves with deep red stalks. Yellow leaves with pale pink stalks offer a milder flavour and are less stringy in texture.
