Hey, I think what you have there is red chard, not rhubarb. So I wouldn’t worry about poisoning — eat all the chard greens you want. The stems on red chard do kind of look like rhubarb, though!

[...] going to take a break from green oat bran. After yesterday’s debocle I don’t really have the stomach for it. I associate foods/flavors/tastes with being sick, [...]

Wow! Had no idea that rhubarb leaves were poisonous. Thanks for the heads up. I wish so bad I could get fresh seafood here! The seafood here really sucks and I love it so so much . Have a happy Monday!

I had no idea the leaves were poisionous! My mother in law always uses it to make a rhubarb crumble. I bet you could come up with a scrumptious, healthy dessert with it!

Rhubarb is fantastic in desserts like pies and crumbles or muffins when matched with strawberries. I bet you could do something a little healthier with that and maybe some oats or oat bran or something. And poisonous leaves – that is news to me. Yikes!

Don’t give up on rhubarb though, it is SO good in desserts, such as rhubarb and strawberry pie! But thats so weird that they even sell the darn leaves if you arent supposed to eat them, lol.

Rhubarb leaves are poisonous? I never knew that! At what state are they poisonous? Meaning are they only poisonous raw or cooked a certain way? That is pretty amazing.
