Fresh Frozen Organic Rhubarb

IN SEASON NOW! Try our Fresh Frozen Organic Rhubarb today.

Our fresh frozen organic rhubarb is grown organically and locally right here in the Skagit Valley, Washington. Skagit Valley soil grows some of the best fruits and vegetables on earth. Our cooler climate allows the produce to mature at a slower pace translating into more nutrients and better flavor. Our organic rhubarb is hand harvested on a small family owned farm. They are cleaned, hand cut into one inch slices for your convenience and flash frozen on harvest day to lock in all the health benefits and flavor. Rhubarb stalks can vary in color from crimson red, to light pink, to a light green. This happens because of the presence of anthocyanins which act as powerful antioxidants. Rhubarbs botanical name is Rheum Palmatum and it belongs to the Polygonaceae family. It is grown in the spring and autumn seasons throughout the world but is especially popular in Europe and North America. Prized for its unique sweet taste, rhubarb goes exceptionally well in desserts or as a sweet ingredient in many entrees.
