I used to eat it raw from my grandmother's garden too - when no one was looking - and so do lots of kids with no ill effect. Not poisonous. Why grandparents (and parents etc.) might not want kids to do this, however, is because the stalks taste so sour and yet the kids eat them AND if they can eat the sour stalks they might eat anything - right? With rhubarb, this could be a huge problem because the LEAVES are poisonous. Best love, Pat (who can take rhubarb or leave it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
