Rhubarb and pear crumble

(Serves 4)

Rhubarb Facts; 

  • Rhubarb is classified as a vegetable because it has no seeds
  • There are more than 20 species of rhubarb
  • Rhubarb leaves contain the poisonous substance oxalate
  • Rhubarb is a natural laxative
  • Thicker stalks and dark red colour are the ideal to look for when buying rhubarb.

Rhubarb is 95% water and contains a fair source of potassium, contributes minor amounts of vitamins, and is low in sodium. Rhubarb's crisp sour stalks are rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber and calcium, although the calcium is combined with oxalic acid and so is not easily absorbed by the body.
