If I were looking for rhubarb, I'd look for a rhubarb-msg under vegetables.
The root is used medicinally, the stalk is eaten as avegetable, and the
leaves have been used as herbs, although this latter use is not recommended
as they are poisonous.
The reason you probably don't see much about rhubarb being eaten in period
is that it requires a lot of sugar to make it palatable.
