Rhubarb is a rather surprising source of calcium, along with vitamin K and smaller amounts of vitamins c, d and a.

I wish I liked it. I do try and can now eat [enjoy is too strong a word] Activia rhubard yogurt. Perhaps it was the soggy pastry covering the tart fruit that did it for me. I love crumbles though so perhaps I should be brave. What are the health properties of rhubarb? Perhaps that will convince me to give it a go again.

We used to eat sticks of raw rhubarb dipped in sugar when I was young! Probably bad for teeth, though....confused

Freeze it , thats what I do if I run out of ideas.. I make crumbles, pies, cobbler, stewed rhubarb and custard is well like in our house, you can even make rhubarb yoghurt or wine.. I love rhubarb.

My Rhubarb seems to have gone mad! What can I do with it all?
