Rhubarb Juice

Low concern

Rhubarb stalks are edible and the juice is a whole-food ingredient; rhubarb leaves are toxic due to high oxalic-acid and anthraquinone content and are not used. Rhubarb stalks contain meaningful oxalate, which can be relevant for individuals prone to calcium-oxalate kidney stones.
