Nutritional values

So-called anthraquinones in rhubarb gently but effectively stimulate digestion. The acidic stems also score points with a pleasingly low fat content and favourable secondary plant substances. Spelt semolina contributes B vitamins here, curd cheese provides calcium.

If you do not like rhubarb or it is not in season, you can easily use other sour fruits such as sour cherries or red currants instead.
