IS RHUBARB GOOD FOR YOU?

A friend recently gave me some rhubarb she had grown herself. It was lovely for the family to cook and eat. I realized that I didn't know anything about it nutritionally. So I did some investigating. It turns out that it's a great source of potassium, and a very good source of fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium and manganese. So it's good for bones, teeth, muscle and soft tissue, and healing processes. Now I know. A very irrelevant blog. But interesting to me!
