Opinions are divided on rhubarb. Some find it far too bitter, others love the tart fruitiness, which is very unique in taste. It is undoubtedly best in fruit purees, spreads or pastries, as the sugar content balances out the strong acidity a little. Together with iChoc White Vanilla, rhubarb is the star in today’s vegan tart recipe.
