Shalom Seed Sanctuary
Rhubarb Preservation projects is in response to the lack of effort nationwide to maintain the genetic basis of this minor but important crop. Over 2,000 years ago it was found in Western and North-western provinces of China and in the adjoining Tibetan territory, and was origionally cultivated for its medicinal qualities. Since the 18th century, rhubarb was grown for eating. Rhubarb is often commonly mistaken to be a fruit but rhubarb is actually in the vegetable family. Rhubarb is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber and initial tests have found that it can lower cholesteral. Although SSS Director Lise Abazs laughs everytime I talk about the Rhubarb Preservation Project, nothing in God's Creation is too small to be cared for. Rhubarb is well suited for our site, making it an ideal location for its preservation for current and future generations. I bet you never knew how many varieties of Rhubarb are out there... We are just starting this collection, so if you have found one of these varieties, please let us know! The Rhubarb Preservation Project is in accordance with Shalom Seed Sanctuary's mission; to research and educate about sustainable agriculture, specifically the preservation of open pollinated plant varieties and domestic animal breeds neglected by modern agriculture, so that their characteristics and genetic information will be available for future generations. Shalom Seed Sanctuary is continuing to develop practices, programs and promise for the ever changing world in need of care.
