Product Information

Rhubarb leaves contain poisonous substances, including oxalic acid, a nephrotoxin. [41] The long term consumption of oxalic acid leads to kidney stone formation in humans. Humans have been poisoned after ingesting the leaves, a particular problem during World War I when the leaves were mistakenly recommended as a food source in Britain. [44] [45] [46] The toxic rhubarb leaves have been used in flavouring extracts, after the oxalic acid is removed by treatment with precipitated chalk (i.e., calcium carbonate). Turn off heat and allow the mixture to sit for another 5 minutes before straining out the rhubarb and mint leaves.

[41] Phytochemistry and potential toxicity [ edit ] The high price, as well as the increasing demand from apothecaries, stimulated efforts to cultivate the different species of rhubarb on European soil. [22] Certain species came to be grown in England to produce the roots. [24] The local availability of the plants grown for medicinal purposes, together with the increasing abundance and decreasing price of sugar in the 18th century, galvanised its culinary adoption. [22] Grieve claims a date of 1820 in England. [24] Rhubarb was harvested in Scotland from at least 1786, having been introduced to the Botanical Garden in Edinburgh by the traveller Bruce of Kinnaird in 1774. He brought the seeds from Abyssinia and they produced 3,000 plants. [25] Noonan, SC; Savage, GP (March 1999). "Oxalate content of foods and its effect on humans" (PDF).

In the petioles (leaf stalks), the proportion of oxalic acid is about 10% of the total 2–2.5% acidity, which derives mainly from malic acid. [12] Serious cases of rhubarb poisoning are not well documented. [53] Both fatal and non-fatal cases of rhubarb poisoning may be caused not by oxalates, but rather by toxic anthraquinone glycosides.

Dry aging meat at home sounds like an intimidating process, but all that's really needed is a little extra room in the refrigerator. Dry aging is a process of tenderizing and flavoring meat that helps to develop a far more rich and robust flavor than it would have when fresh. And yes, it can be safely done at home.
