It is always exciting in the shop when the first of the Yorkshire forced rhubarb arrives, Slender and bright pink, this elegant British speciality is \u2018forced\u2019 in the famously dark growing sheds of Yorkshire\u2019s rhubarb triangle.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb is an out of season rhubarb that is first grown outside for a period of two years so that the exposure to frost toughens the roots. After initial exposure to the frost, the Rhubarb is lifted from the ground and placed into forcing sheds. Once in the darkened sheds, heat is applied causing the rhubarb to grow quickly in search of light.
\nThe Rhubarb is harvested by candle light to maintain the tenderness of the shoots and ensure that growth continues. This growing process produces rhubarb that is sweeter and more delicately flavoured with an especially vivid red colour.
\nThis really is the best of British produce.<\/p>\n
We all have our favourite way of using Rhubarb, simply stewed, in a crumble (why not add our delicious crumble mix, you just need to add butter Fruit Crumble Mix \u2013 Village Greens, Charlesworth )<\/p>\n
