Observed on June 9, this food holiday asks pie lovers to indulge in a sweet and tangy dessert best enjoyed during the early summer months when both strawberries and rhubarb are in season.

A tart vegetable, rhubarb originated in Europe and was introduced to the United States by German immigrants in the late 18th century.

Tart rhubarb pairs well with sweet strawberries and Strawberry Rhubarb Pie has become a spring and summer staple in many American households.

Look for Strawberry Rhubarb Pie at local farmers markets, particularly in the Great Lakes and Great Plains regions of the USA. It can also be purchased from grocers or made at home.
