Seasonal Seducer: Rhubarb

Posted in: Uncategorized

MOST ATTRACTIVE FEATURES
Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy. Oh, and the Chinese think it can help to cure gastric cancer.

WHY WE FELL IN LOVE
We’ve got nothing against apples and pears, but after months of them being the only fruit in season, we always get a bit excited when rhubarb time comes around again. The fact that it’s really a vegetable doesn’t dampen our enthusiasm one bit. But, whilst change is always good, that’s not the only reason we love rhubarb. Taking a leaf out of the Chinese book (they’ve been using it for centuries in their herbal medicine), we love that it can sooth our allergies and reduce our inflammation too.
