Mom made the best rhubarb pie ever. My little sis has all of mom's recipes. I just texted her and asked for some of those recipes. When she gets back with me I'll share them with you.
Raw rhubarb is 94% water, 5% carbohydrates, 1% protein, and contains negligible fat (table). In a 100-gram (3+1⁄2-ounce) reference amount, raw rhubarb supplies 88 kilojoules (21 kilocalories) of food energy, and is a rich source of vitamin K (28% of the Daily Value, DV), a moderate source of vitamin C (10% DV), and contains no other micronutrients in significant amounts (table).

But you could make a savory dish like chutney to pair with meat.
Nice job.

Other than using it for Vitamin K, the rhubarb might not be worth the time-effort-garden space used to cultivate it.
Unless you really love the tart-earthy taste of it, then perhaps you might consider something with more nutritional value?
