Main ingredientsStrawberry and rhubarb

A Strawberry rhubarb pie (folk name pie plant),[1][2][3] is a type of tart/sweet[4] pie made with a strawberry and rhubarb filling, and sometimes containing tapioca.[5][6] It has a bottom pie crust and often a lattice-style upper crust.[7]

Filling

This pie is a traditional dessert throughout the US South including the Appalachian regions, and is part of New England cuisine. [8][9] Rhubarb pies and desserts are popular in Canada too as the rhubarb plant can survive in cold weather climates. [10][11]</ref>

The filling for this pie is prepared in a non-aluminum pan.[12][13] Only the stalks of the rhubarb are used, as the leaves and roots contain oxalic acid and other unknown poisons. Frostbitten stalks are also avoided as they can also be toxic. Rhubarb used in strawberry rhubarb pie is rinsed and trimmed, and can also be peeled.

A common folk name for rhubarb is 'pie plant' presumably because it is commonly used in pies.[14][15][16]

Below is brief information concerning the two main ingredients found in this dessert pie. Of note, rhubarb contains poisonous parts hence the detailed information on how to prepare this vegetable that's normally eaten as a fruit.
