Raw Rhubarb Compote
Surprise! Nutritious rhubarb can be eaten raw! Serve this simple compote over nonfat Greek yogurt, homemade granola or even savory dishes such as grilled pork tenderloin.
Nutritional Bonus: Rhubarb is loaded with dietary fiber, calcium and potassium, and a mere one-cup serving of the raw diced plant provides 45 % of your daily vitamin K value, essential for blood clotting and calcium absorption, and 16 % of vitamin C, an immune system booster.
