What's the water content of rhubarb?

Question

I have a recipe for a rhubarb crisp, but every time I make it, there ends up being more juice than I would like to have in the completed dish.

Answer 1

Water 95%
Protein 0.5%
Carbohydrate 4%
Minerals/Ash 0.7% Other: oxalic acid: laminal 0.3-1.1%; petiole 0.4-1%

Considering its high water content, rhubarb is quite low in calories. A 100-gram serving has about 21 calories and 4.5 grams of carbohydrates. It's rich in potassium and also contains some vitamin C and calcium. Because of its high acidity, it's tart and is often prepared with larger amounts of sweetener. Of course, this increases the calorie content of rhubarb dishes significantly.

Add more flour to your recipe......

Answer 2

I'd say the water content of rhubarb is around 40%. If there's more juice than you want, before you bake it, add a little more cornstarch to thicken up the crisp.
RHUBARB CRISP

1 cup flour
3/4 cup oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 cups diced rhubarb
1/2 pkg. dry strawberry Jell-O


Sauce:

3/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
vanilla


Preheat oven to 350°F.
To make crust, mix flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Press 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch pan.

Cover with chopped rhubarb, then sprinkle with dry Jell-O. In a medium saucepan, combine white sugar, cornstarch and water. Cook until thickened and clear. Add vanilla. Pour over rhubarb, pat remaining crumbs on top.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
