I was looking on web about health things on Rhubarb, Good source vit C, High in Diatary Fibre, Low in Sodium & Saturated fat. & the best = Good food to prevent Heart disease & is thought to prevent DIABETES 🙂

Such a pity that I only find it palatable cooked with real sugar, crumble made with real butter and oodles of creamy custard!

 

[HOBIE]

I allways cook with sweetner. & just eat it by itself GOOD for you that way 😉

I LOVE rhubarb! An amazing plant all round. Though I believe all other parts (leaves, roots, etc.) are toxic 😉

Rhubarb the only food never to be served in hospital, for some reason, still there you go more for me then.

Growing rhurbarb

I grow rhurbab and gooseberries in pots......my favourite food....i grew up on a farm until iwas 24 years old and love growing my fruit...i am very lucky living in Cornwall as i can go fruit pickng close where i live🙂

Even better if you can grow it yourself - so you get the benefit of a bit of exercise digging, soil preparation, before eventually going out to pick it and eat it very fresh 🙂

We make up crumbles with apple / rhubarb or blackberry / apple, and freeze in take away foil trays, which can be taken straight from freezer to oven, then ready after about 45 mins. Then, it's up to anyone eating to decide whether / how much cream / custard to have. No sugar in fruit layer, but add orange peel if available.

I made a pan yesterday. Just added sweetner & simmered for while. Lovely out the garden !

My (Spanish) vet loves it. He even went on a rhubarb-based holiday near Dewsbury - he visited a rhubarb farm and even bought rhubarb plants back as souvenirs. He's also a fab vet!🙂
