Fun facts about Rhubarb
-
The word Rhubarb comes from the Latin word “rhababarum” which means the root of the barbarians and the Romans used to label people who ate rhubarb “barbarians”.
-
The colour of a Rhubarb stalk will determine the flavour: the darker the red stalk, the sweeter the flavour.
-
This vegetable requires cold winters to grow and as a result, it’s mainly found in mountainous regions around the world.
Facts about Ginger
Ginger is great for the colder months because it helps relieve congestion. Ginger has antiviral actions including preventing viruses from attaching to cell walls and keeping you away from infections. Check out our 4th blog if you’d like to find out more fun facts about Ginger!
