Rhubarb grows wild in many backyards and gardens, and many don’t realize that the stem of the plant is edible, and actually very delicious. The leaves, however, are not edible as they have very high levels of oxalic acid and are toxic to the human body. Rhubarb stems can be eaten raw, though many find that it is sour. Some recipes suggest soaking the raw stems in honey to sweeten them up before eating raw. Like any plant, heating during cooking does damage some of rhubarb’s health properties. Cooking rhubarb does turn it into a deliciously sweet treat, though. Rhubarb contains numerous health benefits, and is so much more than a pretty garden decoration.
