More About This Recipe

  • Rhubarb, originally from china, was once considered a vegetable, but because of its modern applications in baking is treated and categorized as a fruit today. Some nutritionists even consider rhubarb a superfood due to its low caloric content and its high levels of calcium. Even better, it tastes spectacular in desserts like pies, cakes, and crisps. It’s easy to see why this scratch-made rhubarb pie is a classic with its sweet and tart flavor and buttery crust. If you’re short on time, you can add this filling to a ready-made pie crust, but we recommend making a homemade pie crust — it’s worth the extra effort, we promise! Still have a bundle of rhubarb left in your garden? Not to worry, Betty’s got even more rhubarb pie recipes for you to try next!
