Frozen rhubarb is the stalk of the rhubarb plant that has been previously washed, cut, and preserved through freezing to maintain its freshness and flavor for a longer period. This ingredient is characterized by its sour and slightly astringent taste, making it an ideal component for preparing desserts such as pies, compotes, jams, and sauces.
Rhubarb is native to the cold regions of Asia, particularly China and Siberia, although today it is cultivated in many parts of the world, especially in temperate climates. Its natural season is in spring and summer, so the frozen version allows you to enjoy its benefits and flavor all year round.
Regarding its properties, rhubarb is low in calories and rich in fiber, in addition to containing vitamins such as C and K, minerals like calcium and potassium, and natural antioxidants. However, caution should be taken, as rhubarb leaves contain toxic compounds and should not be consumed.
In the Hispanic world, rhubarb may also be known as "rabarbo" or "pie de buey" in some countries, although these terms are not very common. In general, the term "ruibarbo" is the most widely used for this ingredient in cooking recipes.
