Interesting facts about Rhubarb. The Rhubarb roots contains a laxative which unusually for herbal medicine is very consistent in its concentration. This laxative was quite popular with nobles in yee olden England.
So the rhubarb growing on fecal matter and produce laxative so people produce more fecal matter ... I now perceive this plant as an intelligent symbiotic living being.
The only bad thing is that modern waste management is a giant waste of water and fertilizer! More people should use dry composting toilets, as long as you aren't squeamish it's a great resource for gardeners.
Which would never have happened, if people didn't know about pneumatics, which then goes back to physical engineering, then back to steam, then to fire..
The restaurant Rhubarb was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. And they had us sit in the rooms to enjoy drinks before and after the meal. It was a wonderful experience. Plus there's a cat that hangs out and the staff wear kilts.
Apparently people who used to wear kilts didn’t wear anything underneath, they even had stools with an imprint where you can lay your crown jewels and drink the ale, or whatever.
If you want to see the medieval streets. They're still there in Edinburgh in Mary Kings Close. Basically the road starts off at 2 stoerys at one end and 14 storey's at the other. Facing the river. They filled in the river and built a trainstation. But in remodelling the city centre they just knocked those old streets level on top and just built the modern streets on top of them. So the old doors and windows are still down there with the sloping street dissapearing into the underside of the vaults that hold up the buildings and streets above, and you can get tours of it. It's amazing. Highly recommend it!
That sounds like Seattle, same thing. Older section just built over and closed off. The doors, windows and stores are still down there. Just like Edinburgh, you can take tours of underground Seattle. It's seriously cool. So now it looks like I'm going to head to Edinburgh!
Our family has always had rhubarb in our garden. If you've never tasted rhubarb pie, you have no idea what you ate missing !!! The large leaves are inedible, however the ruby colored stalks are the gem of the plant. Cut into one inch pieces and mixed with sugar makes great rhubarb sauce or mix with tapioca and sugar then place in a pie for my favorite pie of all-time !!!!!

We used to munch on rhubarb as kids at my grandparents farm. They said they planted it once and it just kept coming back. After running around the farm during the summers in Michigan it was refreshing to have some of the juicy sour stem to quench a bit of the thirst since we were far away from the hose for a drink.
@@gonelucid I didn't find it bitter. We were warned to not eat anything but the stalks but we could eat as much as we wanted 😆. My mother hates it, but my grandmother makes strawberry rhubarb pie every once in a while and I think it's delicious.
We dipped the raw cut stems in granulated sugar, like strawberries when I was a kid in the 70s. It grew in the backyards of my relatives in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Pennsylvania and Delaware, USA. We are Scotch/Irish-Americans. We also liked black and red currents, plums, most berries, apples, and citrus products. Most of the families had hoards of homemade jams in their root cellars. Strawberry rhubarb jam was one of the top favorites for afternoon teas or after dinner cakes.
It's a perennial, so yes, you plant the crown once and it will produce for years to come. It dies back to the root for winter and then springs back up in spring!
@@deamado8947 my grandmother does the same to this day. She makes jams and jellies, she makes home made apple sauce. She has a very large garden. We had raspberry and crab apple fights and we probably robbed more fruit than the birds 😆. They always produced more than they needed and would pile up cucumbers by the road and put a sign out that said "Free" on them and the rhubarb. Neighbors would frequently come over and cut it along with the asparagus. I would often say as a kid, " Grandma, there's someone in your garden taking things." She'd tell me, "Oh, that's so and so, they're just getting some extra tomatoes we have." Unfortunately my grandfather passed away a couple years ago so she's had to downsize the garden but her way to unwind is to till the garden. It's also unfortunate that when my grandmother passes their property is going to be rezoned and the farm will no longer be able to have animals considered livestock, of which they usually kept a few cows and fowl and much more when my mother was a child. Sorry for the long post, I love that place and miss it terribly.
My Grfather had a rhubarb plant at his house in 1905...my Dad moved the plant to his house in 1946...my Dad moved in 1980 and brought the plant with him...I sold the house in 2022 and my son took one of the rhubarb plants to his house which was less than one half mile away from my Grfather's house...it was back home again, on the same street.....and still growing great...USA
I have a similar story! I’m not sure exactly when this happened, but I’m guessing around 25-30 years ago (before my birth), my grandma had a friend who was moving away and she had a rhubarb plant in her yard; my grandma dug it up, and planted it at my mom and dad’s new house. It was dug up and moved around on the property a couple of times, and my mom tended to it and harvested and used the rhubarb it produced. Then when I took an interest in gardening, I took over caring for it, and we built a whole vegetable garden with raised beds around it. It’s still growing and produces very well amongst the vegetable beds, and I’m planning on digging it up again and taking it with me when we move out. I don’t know how old this plant really is, but I do know it’s older than me and I’m in my 20s, so it’s at least a few decades old, and still producing like crazy every year!
@@OliviaLovesPugs it is something about those plants that they just hang on no matter what is done to them...and like you said, they keep producing every year...👍👍
There's one in my backyard. I don't eat rhubarb but the leaves look cool. Still, I don't care if the lawnmower hits it. Its been battered around for years but cheerfully comes back fresh every year like a trooper
@@Automedon2 i don't eat rhubarb, just give it away, end of season, lawnmower chops it up...and it still comes up the next year, a 1 hundred and 25 yr old plant...amazing.......
Next time a political figure does something amazing for their constituents (for low-key selfish reasons or not) I’m going to say it’s “Big James Dick Energy”.
wild rhubarb grows along a country path near my house. this rather spectacular patch which begins sprouting this time of year climbs up the steep slope that a field sita atop and it receives constantly moving water from an old mills breached wall. its kind of the perfect combo for them and they get MASSIVE! the path itself is roughly 6 feet across and it has a dug out from the mill and then the face of the slope which adds and additional 10 feet. by november there is roughly 3 feet of path which has tattered rhubarb leaves from the footfall. it becomes a nightmare to navigate but if you like rhubarb or botany its a really treat to see how impressive they can grow.
I love rhubarb! My mother used to make strawberry rhubarb pie and daddy and I just loved it so much. I don’t bother making a pie anymore. I just cook the rhubarb with a bit of sugar and devour it!
I LOVE strawberry rhubarb pie. I've only been able to eat it a few times so whenever I find it it's a real treat, Rhubarb definitely needs to have more appreciation
I'm growing a small patch of rhubarb on our side lawn. It's about 3 years old now, given to me by our neighbor who has a patch that is over 120 years old.
I’m a Scot and the best rhubarb comes from Yorkshire. Their forced rhubarb is simply stunning. They even harvest it by candlelight so as to afford the rhubarb the least light possible. If you’re ever in Yorkshire, head to the Rhubarb Triangle and prepare to be dazzled by the exquisite flavour.
Candlelight? Let's go Infrared. Night vision goggles on all the harvesters. Even if it only makes it 1% better, these passionate folks love that kinda stuff 🤣
I used to work with a man, an ex fire chief from Michigan and he said that if he ever became president, all he would do is make the United States “more of a rhubarb country”. People who love rhubarb REALLY love it.
You should have a look at some asian countries, who use human waste as fertiliser, and export the fruit and veg to countries like Australia. Some people have ended up very sick from not washing their fruit and veg. Some producers use chlorine to kill bacteria, but it doesn't always work. I grow my own veg.
AFAIK washing is useless. Isn't Ecoli in the water content of the fruit and vegetables? I thought we learnt that from Chinese watermelon years ago. Also there's a house with a glasshouse and they use it only on trees and plants that are not for human consumption.
Yes! First and last rule!! I don’t care how many “other countries“ use this highly unsanitary practice, it’s a sure way to spread pathogens throughout an entire population. No wonder rhubarb tastes like ____.
Hey! Cool! I live in Edinburgh and have often fancied visiting the up-market Prestonfield House. Now I definitely will visit. I adore rhubarb, btw and make large amounts of rhubarb and ginger jam, which tastes delicious as an accompaniment to scones.
we had rhubarb growing in our garden when I was young and my mum made amazing rhubarb crumble from it. I didn't realise this was the origin of rhubarb in Scotland
It's mostly AI. If you pause and look there's some very telling characteristics; wonky brickwork, windows, and doors, that are bent weirdly, and asymmetrical when it doesn't make sense with the architecture, inconsistent lighting, and angles, and people that look slightly off (hands and facial features tend to be the most noticeable)
Have you showed us this house before? I feel like this is the one that had the room that I said everybody makes in the Sims when they learn the Rosebud! cheat.
This is the second time I’ve heard this “14 storey-high tenements in Edinburgh” fact mentioned in a RUclips short, and now I want a citation. Quick google search only points to a tiny newspaper. That would be a remarkable architectural feat for the era, wouldn’t it?
@@SoufSideGuapo well yeah, but that’s a massive stone structure with a wide base meant as a tomb to a king, not a tenement in a crowded city with 14 different floors for the urban working class used on a daily basis. Tallest buildings in Edinburgh until that point were cathedrals and churches, which were massive both horizontally and vertically. Anything else would bear closer resemblance to skyscrapers built post 1884 that still usually only had about 10 floors (not gonna cite that as it’s an easy fact to verify)
This reminds me of my great grandparents farm house, they had two big rhubarb patches, one behind the barns and one right next to the in-use out house, where the exit hole is. I was pretty sure no one ever ate the outhouse rhubarb, but my dad said what they harvested from that patch was always the sweetest 😳 He may have misremembered, or been joking, but that’s a patch I’ll never harvest from, even though it has the largest healthiest rhubarb I’ve ever seen. I feel like calling it “poobarb”, but that seems wrong.
@@SpringNotes I think areas of South America and maybe Mexico use human manure, it can be really good and dangerous. Maybe that and squashing old plant material in crop areas are what has made South America have the best soil and humus ratio in the Americas.
My parents house used to grow rhubarb. It’s actually nice if it’s cut up into sticks and dipped in sugar. It doesn’t sound like it would be, but it is. I guess that’s partly where the rhubarb and custard sweets come from.
Fun fact Rhubarb is a natural pesticide and will kill most bugs, it's actually great at keeping a healthy garden by warding off pest and molds. Also you can make a completely safe pesticide from it's leaves that won't be toxic to your garden. Note you must thoroughly wash your veggies before cooking and especially before eating. There is a reason you can't eat they greens of Rhubarb.
Personally, I'm cool with y'all but "y'alls" is just too much (unless, I guess, if it's used as a possessive as in "straighten y'alls ties" or something). Seriously, you're trying to make a plural from a word that's already plural and it's just ugly. Also, since I'm already being a grammar fasc let me just point out here that your sentence isn't a question so the question mark is completely misplaced.
The Tron Kirk was among the tallest buildings in Edinburg in the 1600s and the top of its spire was about 12 stories, so very doubtful that people lived or spent time in buildings much higher than 5 or 6 modern height stories, nevermind dumped shit out the window from that height.
@@RandomStranger246 Pre-1800s, many buildings in Edinburgh were very tall and narrow to cram as many people into the city walls as possible, some as tall as 14/15 storeys. Since they were slums though many were torn down, and the Great Fire of Edinburgh in 1824 destroyed many others. Also, many of the closes heading downhill that are now mostly uninhabited (like Mary King’s Close) would’ve been flanked by these tall buildings. Fun fact about the shite too: they shouted “gardyloo” when they chucked their waste out the window, and it would run down into the Nor Loch where Princes Street Gardens is now, drained because it was proper minging (probably why the gardens are so fertile😂)
@@RandomStranger246 they definitely did dump poo down from that height, they would shout gardyloo as they chucked it out the window if ppl didn't move they would be covered in piss and poo
My Great Aunt used to grow rhubarb. She made a *DELICIOUS* pink applesauce with it that I miss so very much. Rhubarb pie as well. Oh it was soooo good.
Man rhubarb is so good. At my grandma house they grew a lot of different vegetables, but the one thing I loved was the rhubarb she grew. I’d get one, peel of the outside and eat it with salt yum 😋🤤
My Aunt's neighbor next door to her in Massachusetts had wild rhubarb growing in their front yard, n they would let us try a couple of the stalks, n my first time trying it in raw form to, it was like tasting bittersweet candy!😋 I was just a little girl at the time. I'll never forget it. Kinda like celery but you just chew on it instead, lolz you won't find it like that in the grocery store either. Cause that was fresh all natural...🕊💛✨ everyone!🙏🏼
My great grandma used to take rhubarb and make it into a sort of preserves-like stuff. It was delicious; we used it exactly as you'd use jam or jelly. I was a kid and never asked how she did it, but it was likely simmered for a few hours with a little sugar. Years later, now I've got a craving, dangit.
Why could they figure out such brilliant architecture yet not some thing as simple as a cistern? The romans mastered water movement, it hasn’t been a secret for thousands of years
Even if he was only doing it to fuel his rhubarb addiction he still did a amazing thing for the people of his city and I can respect that

If you pause and look there's some very telling characteristics; wonky brickwork, windows, and doors, that are bent weirdly, and asymmetrical when it doesn't make sense with the architecture, inconsistent lighting, and angles, and people that look slightly off (hands and facial features tend to be the most noticeable)
Have you showed us this house before? I feel like this is the one that had the room that I said everybody makes in the Sims when they learn the Rosebud! cheat.
Rhubarb is Awesome! It grows like crazy in this plot beside our garage, where we toss all our food scraps and yard waste.
Bravo! Entertaining and educational!
As a fellow fan of rhubarb, I co-sign this.
Rhubarb is VERY pleasant.
The sky was a genius and ahead of his time.
Rhubarb cobbler. I miss you grandma i love you
As a kid on the ranch, my mom would take her wheel borrow out and collect cow chips to break up and fertilize her rubbarb.
This is the second time I’ve heard this “14 storey-high tenements in Edinburgh” fact mentioned in a RUclips short, and now I want a citation. Quick google search only points to a tiny newspaper. That would be a remarkable architectural feat for the era, wouldn’t it?
How tall were cathedrals again?
@@artoftherealA cathedral isn't built like a normal house
🤦🏽♂️ that wasn’t shit nothing remarkable when civilization’s has already built megastructures pyramids etc
@@SoufSideGuapo well yeah, but that’s a massive stone structure with a wide base meant as a tomb to a king, not a tenement in a crowded city with 14 different floors for the urban working class used on a daily basis. Tallest buildings in Edinburgh until that point were cathedrals and churches, which were massive both horizontally and vertically. Anything else would bear closer resemblance to skyscrapers built post 1884 that still usually only had about 10 floors (not gonna cite that as it’s an easy fact to verify)
As a scotsman, I can confirm that this is fact
"Never rub another man's rhubarb."
Look at those trees with the steel structure...love them!
never has the word shite been so magnificent
This reminds me of my great grandparents farm house, they had two big rhubarb patches, one behind the barns and one right next to the in-use out house, where the exit hole is. I was pretty sure no one ever ate the outhouse rhubarb, but my dad said what they harvested from that patch was always the sweetest 😳
He may have misremembered, or been joking, but that’s a patch I’ll never harvest from, even though it has the largest healthiest rhubarb I’ve ever seen.
I feel like calling it “poobarb”, but that seems wrong.
Your dad's right. I bet that rhubarb was the best tasting. I believe in some countries, they still use human manure to grow their crops.
@@SpringNotes I think areas of South America and maybe Mexico use human manure, it can be really good and dangerous. Maybe that and squashing old plant material in crop areas are what has made South America have the best soil and humus ratio in the Americas.
Love rhubarb jams and pies. Tasty
Rhubarb makes a nice pie filler.
Greed when harnessed properly is pretty good
My parents house used to grow rhubarb. It’s actually nice if it’s cut up into sticks and dipped in sugar. It doesn’t sound like it would be, but it is. I guess that’s partly where the rhubarb and custard sweets come from.
My ancestor!❤❤❤
Fun fact Rhubarb is a natural pesticide and will kill most bugs, it's actually great at keeping a healthy garden by warding off pest and molds.
Also you can make a completely safe pesticide from it's leaves that won't be toxic to your garden. Note you must thoroughly wash your veggies before cooking and especially before eating. There is a reason you can't eat they greens of Rhubarb.
Cool deal! Every gardener should know this 🤓👍
I looooove rhubarb! Especially when accompanied by another fruit.
Strawberry?
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Stunning restaurant and super cool fact ❤
If yalls never tried rhubarb pie, idk what yalls been doing with your life?
Try using English
*all y'alls. Happy now?!
Personally, I'm cool with y'all but "y'alls" is just too much (unless, I guess, if it's used as a possessive as in "straighten y'alls ties" or something). Seriously, you're trying to make a plural from a word that's already plural and it's just ugly. Also, since I'm already being a grammar fasc let me just point out here that your sentence isn't a question so the question mark is completely misplaced.
"This right here is some good shit"
- James Dick, on sewage and rhubarb alike.
There was a 14 story building in the 1600s!?
There was multistorey housing in Rome in the days of empire. I'm not sure how many storeys though.
The Tron Kirk was among the tallest buildings in Edinburg in the 1600s and the top of its spire was about 12 stories, so very doubtful that people lived or spent time in buildings much higher than 5 or 6 modern height stories, nevermind dumped shit out the window from that height.
@@RandomStranger246 Pre-1800s, many buildings in Edinburgh were very tall and narrow to cram as many people into the city walls as possible, some as tall as 14/15 storeys. Since they were slums though many were torn down, and the Great Fire of Edinburgh in 1824 destroyed many others.
Also, many of the closes heading downhill that are now mostly uninhabited (like Mary King’s Close) would’ve been flanked by these tall buildings.
Fun fact about the shite too: they shouted “gardyloo” when they chucked their waste out the window, and it would run down into the Nor Loch where Princes Street Gardens is now, drained because it was proper minging (probably why the gardens are so fertile😂)
@@RandomStranger246 they definitely did dump poo down from that height, they would shout gardyloo as they chucked it out the window if ppl didn't move they would be covered in piss and poo
The first skyscrapers apparently.
i really like the aesthetics in this video
14 stores high buildings?! Incredible... Did not know that.
I ❤ rhubarb ! Pie Plant...😊👍
You gotta compost it!!! Never use raw waste!!!
It looks like it worked just fine!
No..just no. Never want to time travel backwards🤮
Why people literally do it today
@@kingming9712Do what?
@@GhastlyCretin time travel backwards
@@jogennotsuki Great Scott!!!
My Great Aunt used to grow rhubarb. She made a *DELICIOUS* pink applesauce with it that I miss so very much. Rhubarb pie as well. Oh it was soooo good.
Mom had a rhubarb patch in the backyard in the 60s and 70s. Great pies!
*Lord Provost
Glad I do not eat rhubarb 😂😂😂
You do not know,*** what you are missing... 😊❤
Love the graphics
Loved my mother’s rhubarb pies made from plants right at the back door
I like Rhubarb. My Moma & Mamaw used to grow it every year.
Rhubarb is great, cakes, kompot, or just dipping it in sugar between bites. I love it
Rhubarb and strawberry crumble an outstanding desert
And yet today it grows wild in my backyard
Man rhubarb is so good. At my grandma house they grew a lot of different vegetables, but the one thing I loved was the rhubarb she grew. I’d get one, peel of the outside and eat it with salt yum 😋🤤
As a lover of rhubarb, I approve of this man.
My Aunt's neighbor next door to her in Massachusetts had wild rhubarb growing in their front yard, n they would let us try a couple of the stalks, n my first time trying it in raw form to, it was like tasting bittersweet candy!😋 I was just a little girl at the time. I'll never forget it. Kinda like celery but you just chew on it instead, lolz you won't find it like that in the grocery store either. Cause that was fresh all natural...🕊💛✨ everyone!🙏🏼
It grows wild everywhere in alaska
My great grandma used to take rhubarb and make it into a sort of preserves-like stuff. It was delicious; we used it exactly as you'd use jam or jelly.
I was a kid and never asked how she did it, but it was likely simmered for a few hours with a little sugar.
Years later, now I've got a craving, dangit.
rhubarb is not “generally unpleasant” you just ain’t eaten enough of it.
Live in the rhubarb triangle. I appreciate this man respecting our plant
Very nice information given! Thank very much for sharing.
Thanks RUclips shorts for showing me the history of rhubarb in scotland
My parents were married at Prestonfield house in 1952 when it was still a private house.
I just bought rhubarb. It’s the best for a nice compote or galette with strawberries
Why could they figure out such brilliant architecture yet not some thing as simple as a cistern? The romans mastered water movement, it hasn’t been a secret for thousands of years
