Eating the green part of rhubarb can be harmful, as it contains high levels of oxalic acid and anthraquinone glycosides, which are toxic. Consuming these parts can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing or kidney damage. It's safest to eat only the red stalks of rhubarb, which are safe and commonly used in cooking and baking. If you suspect you've ingested a significant amount of the green parts, it's advisable to seek medical attention.

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.
