Welcome to the forums.

I wouldn't worry about it. Not all rhubarb varieties are red, although the colour tends to come when cooked.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

As said many types and several are mainly green.

I have both although not sure why I bother. Living in the Rhubarb triangle means there are fields of the stuff all around me and lots of heads in bushes etc.  ::)
