It's no secret -- we love a good 'gram. Here, we'll be posting our favorite Instagrams from the food world, on a different theme each week. Today, it's rhubarb's time to shine.

Rhubarb on Food52

When it comes to spring farmers market produce, rhubarb often gets the short end of the stalk. Relegated to strawberry's back-up dancer, it humbly plays second fiddle in compotes and shortcakes, never vying for the spotlight. It has a reputation for being aloof and mysterious. Rhubarb knows you're intimidated by its mammoth, celery-like stalks, its sour flavor, its stringy texture -- it doesn't hold it against you.

Why the sexy back link to Justin Timberlake? That's lame and pointless.

Rhubarb is actually a vegetable, and it's origins are talked about in this great article. Thanks so much for pointing this out and bringing more Rhubarb into it's own spotlight. http://bit.ly/1tXaMVK
