The idea of forcing rhubarb is to exclude light from the emerging shoots so that they are more tender, less acidic and thus sweeter tasting. It's done in large sheds, lit only by candles, in an area of Yorkshire, and can be done in pots like those pictured, where you take the lid off to pic individual stalks and then replace it to force the others. It is also done with seakale and with chicory. By: ChrisOs |
