Health Benefits of Rhubarb

Baking rhubarb can significantly enhance its cancer-fighting properties, according to a study from Sheffield Hallam University. Research indicates that when British garden rhubarb is baked for 20 minutes, its levels of anti-cancer chemicals are dramatically increased. The study highlights rhubarb's rich polyphenol content, similar to that found in grapes, berries, and apples, positioning it as a tasty and beneficial option for health-conscious consumers. Incorporating baked rhubarb into desserts, such as crumbles, not only provides a delicious treat but may also aid in developing new cancer treatments.
