If you haven’t baked with rhubarb often, you might be unsure of how to make rhubarb. Can you eat rhubarb leaves or just the green portion? Should you peel rhubarb before making it crisp? Rhubarb is quite easy to prepare.

Cut off the leaves and remove them from the plan. Thoroughly clean.
Rhubarb does not need to be peeled, although if the stem is particularly thick, peeling the more difficult surface might be a good idea.
