Tips and useful information:


Rhubarb as an ingredient in our healthy cake


Rhubarb is actually not a fruit at all, but a vegetable. From a botanical point of view it belongs to the so-called knotweed plants.

It is a very low-calorie food and is therefore perfect for recipes to lose weight. It also provides many vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, potassium and phosphorus.

The high content of anthocyanins is also noteworthy. These are secondary plant substances that color rhubarb red and can have health-promoting properties.

What is not so favorable for this is the high content of oxalic acid. Oxalic acid can inhibit the absorption of certain substances, such as iron. For this reason it is better not to add rhubarb to iron-rich meals.

I wish you good luck with the baking, enjoy the rhubarb yogurt cake!

But the blue, low-calorie super fruits also cut a fine figure as a smoothie. They only have season from July, but you can already get them as cultivated berries (or you use frozen berries; I always recommend organic).
