This bill proposes to designate rhubarb, scientifically known as Rheum rhabarbarum, as the official state vegetable of North Dakota. A new section will be added to chapter 54-02 of the North Dakota Century Code to formalize this designation.
The bill includes specific legal language that establishes rhubarb as the official vegetable, thereby recognizing its significance within the state. This move aims to celebrate and promote the agricultural heritage of North Dakota, particularly highlighting the importance of rhubarb in local culture and cuisine.
