Rhubarb Nutrition and Rhubarb Trivia
Although it is most commonly seen in sweet recipes, it does not taste sweet at all. A stalk on its own has a slightly tart flavor, which contrasts well with the sweet flavor of desserts.
It is a good source of vitamin C and a powerhouse source of vitamin K, as just 3 1/2 ounces of the red stalks has over a quarter of your daily recommended dose of vitamin K.
While the stalks are quite tasty, the leaves are to be avoided at all costs because they are toxic.
The plant thrives in cooler temperatures, which it is known as a spring harvest crop.
95 percent of the plant is water.
Featuring an evening with ASU's original alternative literary Bohemian Phenom and all around great muse: LAURIE NOTARO! Bobby Diablo interviews Laurie at her favorite haunt the infamous Long Wongs in downtown Tempe about her 1st "spoken word" experience. Also featuring clips from that 1st "spoken word" show. ASU Radio Trivia note: Every year on the anniversary of Laurie's last State Press column a mysterious figure lays a white chocolate rose, a vinyl copy of the Gin Blossom's first album and a bottle of vodka at the State Press's doorstep. To see what Laurie is upto check out: www.laurienotaro.com ASU Student Radio is celebrating it's 25th year being the Sun Devil's Original Alternative! For more info check out http "Don't expect a lot from this show." Was the unofficial motto of KASR VIDEO, which made a pleasant surprise when we actually knocked out a great show! The program was a weekly 2 hour public access offshoot of the Arizona State University's original alternative radio station that aired in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely seen videos and "new" music not in the "main stream." Along with non-conventional interviews it became a decent way to nurse a hangover with the midnight party crowd. These clips are edited as a sort of best of; minus the music videos.
