Pretty in Pink – Enjoy Yorkshire Rhubarb, now available
Natoora’s Market Report
Yorkshire is the home of many great things – Sean Bean for example. But even more tasty (in our opinion) is the magnificent Yorkshire Rhubarb, now available and tasting superb.
The natural rhubarb season starts in April, but until then we can enjoy forced rhubarb. These blushing stems are cultivated in candlelit tunnels which provide the ideal conditions to ‘force’ the rhubarb out early. Most of the UK’s rhubarb is grown in the ‘Rhubarb Triangle’, which currently has ‘Protected Designation of Origin’ status. We source all our rhubarb from a family farm in the triangle. from David and Jonathan Westwood, who have been farming rhubarb in Wakefield since the 1800s.
Their pretty pink, tangy stems are the perfect winter pick-me-up; Firm, sharp and simply delicious enjoyed in hot winter puddings, jelly or even cocktails! Visit our blog for more recipe inspiration.
Our rhubarb is not only fantastically fresh and incredible quality, it’s even cheaper than the supermarket offerings:
