Rhubarb pie is a pie with a rhubarb filling. Popular in the UK, where rhubarb has been cultivated since the 1600s, and the leaf stalks eaten since the 1700s. Besides diced rhubarb, it almost always contains a large amount of sugar to balance the intense tartness of the plant. A strawberry rhubarb pie[1][2][3] is a type of tart and sweet[4] pie made with a strawberry and rhubarb filling. Sometimes tapioca is also used.[5][6] The pie is usually prepared with a bottom pie crust and a variety of styles of upper crust. In the United States, often a lattice-style upper crust is used.[7] This pie is a traditional dessert in the United States. It is part of New England cuisine.[8] Rhubarb has long been a popular choice for pies in the Great Plains region, where fruits were not always readily available.[9] Rhubarb pies and desserts are popular in Canada as well, as the rhubarb plant can survive in cold climates.[10][11]
