Rhubarb leaves contain oxalic acid. So too does the stem itself. Tomatoes also contain oxalic acid, especially the leaves. Oxalic acid is a poison. Oxalic acid is also found in potatoes and in peppers as well as in peas. Oxalic acid becomes concentrated in tomato paste. In the tomato, red tomato's have less oxalic acid than do green tomato's.
