as kids we would take the sugar bowl out into the garden, pull rhubarb, twist off the
leaf and eat the stems raw just dipped in the sugar. they arent toxic. quite sour,
tho. Ingrid


Raw rhubarb is quite toxic. Cooked stalks are quite delicious.

The leaves are toxic.. cooked or raw

we also used to grab rhubarb stems and chew away on them after dipping in sugar. it was such a treat to have as we all loved the sweet and sour taste of fresh young rhubarb .

Stewed Rhubarb

We just added sugar and water and corn starch and strawberries. Till it
looked and tasted right.

Because my rhubarb plant had the nerve to try and shade the oregano, I've
been cutting off its older, larger leaves all summer. I offered some to a
neighbor yesterday, but she wondered if it was OK to use the stalks at this
time of year (for baking). I had no idea. Anyone know?

Yes, they're fine. She might want to dice the rhubarb up pretty good,
depending on the variety and if it got stringy.
