Nutritional values

Rhubarb contains a lot of vitamin C, potassium, calcium and vitamin B2, but few calories. The yoghurt sauce to go with it is not only delicious, but also extremely useful: the milk product balances the increased calcium requirement due to the "calcium robber" oxalic acid in the red stem vegetables. The mineral is important for bones, blood clotting and the activation of some enzymes and hormones.

If you use frozen raspberries, e.g. because fresh rhubarb is not yet available at the beginning of the rhubarb season, let them defrost in time before serving the dessert or fold them into the still hot rhubarb compote.
