Rhubarb

100 g1 stalk (about 100 g)

Typical rhubarb stalk ~100 g; USDA household measure.

Nothing truly matches rhubarb’s tart stalk texture, but green apple is the closest everyday option.

• 
  Green apple

  Use the same weight, peeled and sliced. It is tart but less stalk-like, and softens faster, so check after 10 minutes.

• 
  Gooseberry

  Use the same weight. It is very tart and juicy, so add sugar gradually and cook briefly to keep some texture.

• 
  Ripe plum

  Use the same weight. It is sweeter and less tart, so reduce sugar and add lemon juice if the dish needs acidity.
