Did You Know?

Did you know that rhubarb leaves are poisonous due to the fact that they contain high levels of Oxalic Acid. Oxalic Acid is sometimes called "ethane diacid".

It is important that, when harvesting rhubarb, that the leaves are discarded, and NOT consumed, nor fed to animals.

Some animals such as goats and pigs, have been poisoned by ingesting these leaves.
