Are they completely red? For me it would depend on what they’re being used for. Canning, cooking down, sure- you’ll just need more. For pies and such, I prefer to use at least 1” thick stalks.

I read the information on harvesting it and am wondering how thin can it be to harvest? I have stalks that are 12-14 inches long but only as wide as a drinking straw, should I harvest these or leave them

If it ends up with a lot of liquid, I would set some of it aside and definitely try adding a bit of flour. Personally, I love adding rhubarb juice to my lemonade!

thaw it in a bowl using all the juices? Then when making a pie add extra flour?

You can often use Splenda in canning recipes if that’s what you’re seeking: https://nchfp.uga.edu/questions/FAQ_general.html
