I just heard that rhubarb is actually bad for your kidneys, and to eat it lightly. Anyone else ever heard such a thing? I have yet to find out if it’s true or not, and in fact doing a little research on it is how I found this site. My gut response is that many foods can be bad for the kidneys and everything else in turn if they are eaten in excess. I’ll try to let ya’ll rhubarb heads know what the outcome of my research reveals. Until then, eat your rhubarb without guilt!!

Thanks for this post! I just got a bunch of rhubarb from my farm share and I have no idea what to do with it! I found this link on Joy the Baker. I’ll be back to see what else you come up with! :)

You can make wonderfully deserts pudding this way.. using few Rhubarbs in a pan add either Apple or Orange juice well just 1\4 below the pan and added Brown sugar and Ginger power just sprinkle on top NOT TOO MUCH otherwise you would’nt able to taste Rhubarb you will get too spicy…bring out to boil then skimmer for about 10 mins, cool it and drain out the Rhubard juice in glass then serve in desert bowl and use packet custards and added cinnamon…..,yom yom have you tried it yet? Place Rhubarb juice in glass in fridge when cool use it for next morning breakfast!!…Go on be a Devil!!

Rhubarb leaves contain a high concentration of
oxalate, which is poisonous in large doses.
The stems contain a lower concentration of oxalate, and
also act as a good laxative. Some foods were never meant
for human consumption, and rhubarb is at the top of that
list.

Hi rhubarb loving people, same thing here, I used to just help myself to my Dad’s rhubarb patch, choose a nice clean pink stalk and pull like hell, I was’nt very tall then, but hey presto I grew to 6ft tall, laughing now your messages really took me back to my childhood, I too always washed the stalk under the tap and stuck it straight into the suger bag wiggled it about a bit, and yummmmmmmmmmmm heaven,It didn’t stop there popping peas,strawberries apples pear’s, we had the best garden for miles, the best thing is me Dads still growing fruit and veg at 78 yrs young, and he’s our hero.

Has anyone tried Rhubard Champagne? It is about 5% alcohol, pink in colour, lots of bubbles and because of the cool temperate climate I live in (Tasmania, Australia) grows extremly well.

Is eating raw rhubarb bad for you? My friend likes eating it raw straight from the ground dipped in sugar – I tried some and liked it so I had some more. Some people say it gives you stomach ache, though… does it?
