Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw rhubarb stalks are safe during pregnancy once they are washed and cooked. The edible stalks deliver calcium, vitamin C, and fiber, but the broad green leaves are highly toxic due to severe oxalic acid content and must always be discarded. Wash the stalks thoroughly under clean running water before trimming. Bake or stew rhubarb stalks with sweet fruits like apples or berries to balance tartness.
