Rhubarb pie is a pie with a rhubarb filling.

United Kingdom

[edit]

Rhubarb pie is popular in the United Kingdom, where rhubarb has been cultivated since the 1600s, and the leaf stalks eaten since the 1700s. Besides diced rhubarb, it usually contains a large amount of sugar to balance the tartness of the vegetable. The pie is usually prepared with a bottom crust and a variety of styles of upper crust.

North America

[edit]

In the United States, a lattice-style upper crust is often used.[1] This style of pie is a traditional dessert in the country and is part of New England cuisine.[2] Rhubarb has long been a popular choice for pie filling in the Great Plains and Midwest regions, where fruits were not always readily available.[3]

Sumner, Washington describes itself as the "Rhubarb Pie Capital of the World."[4][5][6] It is unknown exactly when the city gained this description, although it has been in use since at least the 1930s.[4]

Rhubarb pies and desserts are also popular in Canada, as the rhubarb plant can survive in cold climates.[7][8]

Variations

[edit]
Strawberry rhubarb pie

A strawberry rhubarb pie[9][10][11] is a type of tart and sweet[12] pie made with a strawberry and rhubarb filling. Sometimes tapioca is used as a thickener.[13][14]
