Start by choosing the right rhubarbs. Opt for fresh, firm stalks that are free from blemishes. While the colour can vary from green to deep red, the taste should always be tart with a hint of sweetness.
Ensure that the rhubarbs are cut into even-sized pieces, so they bake uniformly. As all ovens are different, keep an eye on the rhubarb towards the end to ensure it does not overcook.

What better day to start the day than with an explosion of flavours, a delicate balance of sweetness, tartness, and nutty goodness? The magic begins with fresh strawberries, succulent and brimming with natural sweetness and juiciness. Next, enter baked rhubarb, with its soft, tender chunks offering a tangy note. Then there are the hemp seeds, offering a crunchy texture to the soft fruit and an earthy, nutty flavour that ties everything together. If you need more inspiration for tasty skyr or yogurt toppings, you should take a look at our apple and raspberry topping , mixed berry topping , or banana and chocolate topping.
As the rhubarb bakes, it releases juices that mingle with the sugar sprinkled over it to create a sort of rhubarb-infused syrup. This syrup gets absorbed back into the rhubarb pieces, making them beautifully tender. The sugar on the outside of the rhubarb pieces starts to caramelise. This caramelisation imparts a subtle depth of flavour, a delightful complexity that dances on the fine line between sweet and tart. The result is tender but not mushy, with a rich, concentrated aroma that is utterly irresistible.
