When is rhubarb safe to eat?

Rhubarb actually comes in several color varieties; from green to speckled pink to ruby red. It is safe to eat the stalks of green rhubarb, but never eat them if they have been frostbitten, and never ever eat the leaves of the rhubarb plant, as they are poisonous.


When do you know if the rhubarb is ready to pick?

Rhubarb is ripe when the stalk is a dark red. If its still mostly green, it's not ready to be picked yet, unless you want it really sour! Actually, there are two types of rhubarb and several varieties of each type. Red rhubarb emerges with a red stalk that is completely red. It's ready to pick whenever you're ready to pick it, and a rhubarb that is constantly harvested will continue to send out new stalks until it gets too cool at night. Green rhubarb emerges green and will never turn completely red, no matter how long you wait. Some varieties will have a reddish base when the stalks get very thick. Both varieties do not get 'sweeter' as the stalks get bigger.
