.

i've eaten it before and nothing happened to me.

yes

Yes you can...as a kid we used to make pie out of it

All rhubarb LEAVES are poisonous, but I don't know anything specifically on wild rhubarb...don't think I would risk it though.

Only the leaves on a Rhubarb are toxic...

No, 'tis supposed to be poisenous.

The stalk is not poisonous, it is very sour though. The leaves are poisonous though.
Geez as kids in the summer we were outside with the sunup and not back in until sundown, munching on some rhubarb stalks and eating mulberries was a lot of times all we ate (well, we had one neighbor that would bring us Popsicles when we knocked on her door).

Yes you can eat wild rhubarb but i wouldn't eat the leaves and just be careful and make sure it is rhubarb not a random weed. If you don't like the bitter and quite sour taste them boil it in some sugar and that will make it sweeter.

yes its fine prob best to wash it first and peel some the pink off it and dont eat the big green leaves

raw stems nice with sugar, leaves are very toxic.

Yes you can eat wild rhubarb - just don't eat the leaves they are toxic. How do you think the tame rhubarb came into being?

Yes you can eat ild rhubarb about this that rhubarb leaves are poison well that is wrong or there woild be alot of dead people because they use ruhbarb in alot of recipes...

Of course you can.

You cannot eat the leaves, ever. The stalk o fthe imature plant (green stalks) should not be eaten, either. A friend of mine's family had to be rushed to the hospital because she baked a pie using the green stalks. When the stalks are pink, that is when you can eat them. Wash them carefully first.

Yes you can. Although it makes you grimace like John Prescott and makes your bum swell like a blood orange!

when ieat rubarb i nevere had any problems as lon as the rhubarb is cooked
