Easy Rhubarb Strawberry Blood Orange Crisp
It’s Memorial Day and guess what, it’s raining, which makes me so happy because I love cozying up at home during May showers. I didn’t do anything specific for the holiday. I stayed home and used the time to catch up on work, which I don’t mind because I’m passionate about what I do.
What is Rhubarb?
On the East Coast, it’s the season for rhubarb and strawberries! Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with rhubarb, I was too before I started using it. Rhubarb is a perennial plant known for its thick stalks that are typically red or green. These stalks are tart and often used for baking, particularly in desserts like pies, crumbles, and jams.
Fun Fact:
The leaves of the rhubarb plant contain oxalic acid and are toxic, so they should not be eaten. Rhubarb is rich in vitamin K and C, and provides dietary fiber. It’s commonly grown in temperate climates and is harvested in the spring and early summer so hurry up and get your at the market near you!
