Rheum rhabarbarum.

A perennial plant much loved for its fleshy, tart stalks. This rhubarb variety is one of the most popular and is commonly grown in gardens. It's characterized by its bright red-green stalks, with serrated, dark green leaves.

Victoria rhubarb is widely used in the kitchen to prepare desserts — pies, jams, compotes and sauces — thanks to its characteristic tart flavour. It's also used to balance the sweetness of fruits in many recipes. The stalks are harvested when mature, usually in spring and early summer.

Beyond its culinary use, Victoria rhubarb is prized for its vitamin, mineral and dietary-fibre contribution. It's a source of essential nutrients for a balanced diet. However, it should be noted that rhubarb leaves are toxic and must not be eaten under any circumstances.

Victoria rhubarb is a hardy plant that's relatively easy to grow, which makes it a valuable addition to many a kitchen-and-gardening enthusiast's garden. It offers a delicious taste experience you return to season after season!
