Food Trivia

What vegetable is known as the "pie plant"?

Answer: The rhubarb or "pie plant" stalks can grow up to two feet long and are the only edible portion of the plant — the leaves contain oxalic acis and can be toxic. Because of its tartness rhubarb is usually combined with a considerable amount of sugar.
