YORKSHIRE FORCED RHUBARB
Origin: Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Season: January - March
This exquisite forced rhubarb represents one of Britain's finest culinary treasures, grown in complete darkness and harvested by candlelight within West Yorkshire's historic 'Rhubarb Triangle'. Each vibrant pink stem offers an exceptional tenderness and delicacy that outdoor-grown varieties simply cannot match.
These premium forced rhubarb stems develop a remarkable natural sweetness and subtle complexity that requires 40% less sugar in cooking than standard rhubarb. The unique forcing process creates stems of extraordinary quality—tender, delicate, and free from the stringiness found in ordinary varieties.
Poach gently with vanilla and minimal sugar to preserve the delicate flavour, or slice thinly and serve raw with sweet dishes. The tender stems also make exceptional compotes, sorbets, and sophisticated seasonal desserts.
Producer: Cultivated by Annabel Makin, whose family has grown forced rhubarb for three generations in West Yorkshire's protected Rhubarb Triangle. Following traditional methods unchanged since her grandparents' time, each stem is grown in complete darkness and harvested by candlelight to preserve its exceptional quality.
