For cooking, the stalks are regularly cut into 1 crawl (2.5 cm) pieces and stewed (bubbled in water). It is fundamental just to scarcely blanket the stalks with water, as rhubarb stalks hold an incredible arrangement of water on their own; 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 cup of sugar is included for each one pound of rhubarb. Flavors such as cinnamon and/or nutmeg can be added to taste. Off and on again a tablespoon of lime juice or lemon juice is included. The cut stalks are bubbled until delicate. An elective system is to stew gradually without including water, letting the rhubarb cook in its squeeze.

A sauce (to which dried apples and oranges could be included close to the end) might be made by cooking further, until the sauce is for the most part smooth and the remaining discrete stalks can without much of a stretch be punctured with a fork, yielding a smooth tart-sweet sauce with a flavor comparable to sweet and harsh sauce. This sauce, rhubarb sauce, is closely resembling to applesauce.

These substances are cathartic and diuretic, illustrating the sporadic utilization of rhubarb as a dieting aid. The anthraquinone mixes have been differentiated from powdered rhubarb root for medicinal purposes.

In the petioles (stalks), the measure of oxalic corrosive is much lower, just something like 2-2.5% of the aggregate acridity, which is ruled by malic corrosive. This means the crude stalks may not be hazardous,[clarification needed] though the tart taste of crude stalks is so solid it would be impossible.
