Do you want to bake a delicious rhubarb cake?

Rhubarb is a healthy spring vegetable

The main rhubarb season lasts from April to mid-June. The low-calorie vegetable is just as popular in Germany as asparagus and is used a lot in the kitchen. Now you can buy it fresh at every vegetable market. Its greenish to slightly reddish stems are immediately noticeable and cannot be confused. It contains few calories, but many vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin K and the minerals potassium and calcium. These ingredients are important for the function of the nerves and for all muscle movements. The reddish color of the stalks comes from the pigments they contain (anthocyanins), which also have health-promoting properties. The slightly sour taste of rhubarb is due to the apple and citric acid it contains. The amount of oxalic acid contained in fresh vegetables is low. Oxalic acid can cause gastrointestinal problems in sensitive people and lead to the formation of kidney stones. The oxalic acid content in the rhubarb leaves increases sharply from mid-June. For this reason, it is not recommended to harvest the vegetable later.
