The term “rhubarb” refers to a plant with large leaves and long red or green stalks, which are commonly used in cooking, especially in pies and desserts. The leaves of the rhubarb plant are toxic and should not be eaten. In Bengali, “rhubarb” is translated as “রুবার্ব” (Rubarb), which is a phonetic transliteration from English since the plant is not indigenous to the region and thus retains a similar pronunciation to English.

The plant is native to Asia and was traditionally used for medicinal purposes before becoming popular as a food item in Europe and North America.
