Rhubarb pie is a pie with a rhubarb filling.

In the United Kingdom[edit]

It is popular in the United Kingdom, 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. The pie is usually prepared with a bottom pie crust and a variety of styles of upper crust.

In the United States[edit]

In the United States, often a lattice-style upper crust is used.[1] This pie is a traditional dessert in the United States. It is part of New England cuisine.[2] Rhubarb has long been a popular choice for pies in the Great Plains region and the Midwest Region, where fruits were not always readily available.[3]

In Canada[edit]

Rhubarb pies and desserts are popular in Canada, as the rhubarb plant can survive in cold climates.[4][5]

Variations[edit]

Strawberry rhubarb pie

A strawberry rhubarb pie[6][7][8] is a type of tart and sweet[9] pie made with a strawberry and rhubarb filling. Sometimes tapioca is used as a thickener.[10][11]
