Dehydrated Rhubarb


Rhubarb is a very nutritious vegetable but due to its intense sour flavor many people dislike it, and the only way they know how to eat it is inside sugar-laden strawberry rhubarb pie.  

To make gorgeous rhubarb "ribbons", simply slice the rhubarb stalks thinly and throw them into the dehydrator until completely dry.  

After dehydrating I like to cut them up into tiny bits and add them to my cereal/granola for mild tartness.  It can be substituted into recipes for dried fruits but you may need to add more sugar to the recipe to counter the sourness.
