Nutritional values

Sweet strawberries and sour-tart rhubarb are a delicious combination that provides half your daily vitamin C requirement. Like vitamin E and beta-carotene, this vitamin protects against cell-damaging free radicals. 

If you would like to offer this dessert to vegan guests you can also replace the gelatin with agar agar, which is made from red seaweed instead of animal products. Simply replace the 6 sheets of gelatine with 5 grams of agar agar.
