Default how to freeze rhubarb?

I've never tried this but would like to. Can I just cut and freeze, should I blanch, should I cook completely and freeze?

Thanks for the help.

I've always just chopped it to the size I want (for pies!) and frozen it in freezer bags.

I do it the same way as Sherry but use the food processor.

I had done a search and they say you can do it any way, but was wondering how other people do it and the results.
I guess this means I can just chop and freeze without worry.

Thanks

The best way is to make it into a strawberry rhubarb pie, cover the made pies with plastic freezing wrap; that one extra pie that won't fit into the freezer send to me for quality control.

ROFL I'll take one too.

Actually rhubarb and strawberries are fresh at the markets right now. I should make a strawberry rhubarb pie.
