Rhubarb, stems only, raw

Rhubarb is a plant whose stems are used as food, often in cooked dishes. These figures describe the stems only, in their raw form. Per 100g, raw rhubarb contains 94g of water, 93mg of calcium, 290mg of potassium and 6mg of vitamin C.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. Vitamin C is needed for the formation of connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Raw rhubarb contains little sugar, but adding sugar during preparation increases its sugar and energy content. The full nutrient figures for raw rhubarb stems are in the tables below.
