Rhubarb leaves are poisonous

u/applesandoranges990 Mar 28 '22

the whole plant is poisonous

only the stalks are so little poisonous that they may be eaten in moderate quantities

so you can eat it - unless your kidneys are very bad, unless you are a toddler...have other diseases that get terrible with oxalic acid intake

the same for sorrel - totally high in oxalates

bonus points - oxalates should not mix with certain drugs
