My daughter would probably love it. She’s been obsessed with sour from day one of eating solid foods. 😂

My step mom always made strawberry/Rhubarb pie, loved it

It’s such a good memory for me.

Rhubarb is technically a veggie and a member of the buckwheat family. However in 1947 it was classified as fruit because tariffs on fruit was lower than veggies.

Interesting! Also what’s a carrot? Someone said carrot was a fruit in discord yesterday and now I don’t know where I live anymore.

@@MrsSoapAndClay carrots are 💯a vegetable because they’re a root. They also make a great jam or jelly. Also I’m planning to have some fun with a rhubarb bitters recipe for cocktails.

I love it when you make things weird! 😂❤

I love the chemistry behind all this! From the chemistry I've studied, I agree that soap needs to be basic to function. Once you add acid (H3O+) to soap, the soap, which exists as water soluble ions (RCOO-) can revert into fatty (Carboxylic, RCOOH) acids.

@@MsAubrey That's my area of interest. One could test that out by dripping some acid into some liquid soap and it will precipitate out the fatty acids as a layer of grease.

It’s because it’s being presented in a useful way. I wish more schools would do this for the sciences - show kids that they don’t have to be a doctor or a lab tech or teacher if you’re interested in chemistry.

What kind of juicer is that? I'm looking to get one. Also I love your countertop with all of those colors 😍

Hey! The juicer I used is below and on sale! a.co/d/bUWnFnA

Leave the "heal" - the buttom part - on the steme. That is where most of the sugar content is in a rhubarb. I know that the lather was already great, but the more the marrier. I grow rhubarb in my garden and use it for chutney. But now some of it will go in a soap. Does it make a good shampoo bar with the lover PH?

I wonder how much more colorant is in the rhubarb root then the stems that we eat. Or if it just the water percentage difference and you would get the same color payoff with the solids left from juicing.

I have a rhubarb and something fragrance oil. I've heard of rhubarb pie, never tried it though lol. I need to look for some rhubarb for a body cream.

wonder if you had infused some of the oil with rhubarb root that you could maybe gotten the red back or if the brown would overwrite it.

@@MrsSoapAndClay lol yeah thats too bad was a nice color. ah well. my orriginal rhubarb infusion root in oil turned pretty red but then went brown too. just figured I didn't know what I was doing.

It's like lye and vinegar, or lye and lemon juice...might can each other out. Can not wait to see this.

Wonder how much the heat from the lye on the juice would make the color change vs if you freeze your juice in thick 2” cubes first then pour on the lye slowly stirring it in. 🤔

@MrsSoapAndClay

Ай бұрын

I love pondering! It wouldn’t change - the neutralization reaction will occur regardless, which I think is why it changed so drastically. The anthocyanins dissociated easier than other compounds within the solution and so no more pink.

Yeah I’ve totally done a gorgeous red using the powdered rhubarb root. I really think this is something to do with the chemical reaction in the lye solution.

My mom had rhubarb in a bowl one day ..and dumbed the entire bag of sugar in it and let it sit for a while... didn't understand that for a long time....and then being the kid I was, tasted it.... hahahahaha I don't have to finish that sentence. Those that know...know!
