Description 
Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) is a species of plant in the family Polygonaceae. In culinary use, fresh raw leaf stalks (petioles) are crisp (similar to celery, although they do not share the same family) with a strong, tart taste. Although rhubarb is not a true fruit, in the kitchen it is usually prepared as if it were. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhubarb]
