Sugar-Free Rhubarb Compote Recipes
4 recipes for sugar-free rhubarb compote
I love rhubarb and I always take the opportunity to try new recipes using this vegetable. Yes, rhubarb is actually a vegetable. In addition, “Rhubarb is often mistakenly counted among the fruit species. This is due to its acidic and fruity taste and the fact that it is mainly used in the composition of desserts” according to Gardena experts. If you have never used this plant, note that “Only the rhubarb stem is edible. The leaves should therefore be removed immediately and thrown into the compost. They contain toxic oxalic acids which can cause kidney problems and metabolic diseases.”explain the specialists.
Rhubarb is a vegetable of which only the stem is edible.
With all that explained, we can move on to our favorite rhubarb compote recipes.
