It's very high in oxalic acid, as is spinach. Both are better for you cooked to reduce/neutralize the oxalates.Rosie_Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363843512357526257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390087221610436679.post-43327782845200858362011-05-24T15:11:20.459-04:002011-05-24T15:11:20.459-04:00Rhubarb isn't good for you raw?

What has it done to me?<br /><br />My mother used to send us out into the back yard with a little dish of sugar. Yank out your stalk, wrench off the dirty end, dip it in the sugar, munch away. (Don't touch the leaves, which are poisonous, or so we were told.)<br /><br />I love all the pictures in this post.

Sounds interesting!<br /><br />I'm guessing your "false dandelion" is what we have called "chicory". I can only really harvest dandelions in the spring when they're blooming because the rest of the year, it's really hard to tell them apart!Rosie_Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363843512357526257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390087221610436679.post-80694271010764034282011-05-17T14:27:08.559-04:002011-05-17T14:27:08.559-04:00Lilacs!

Those don't do too well down here, so I can only imagine a kitchen full of them. <br />I went out yesterday to harvest some dandelion and couldn't find any true plant. We have what is called "false dandelion". I can't find much information on them. Anyway- I wanted to make dandelion jelly from the flowers. Have you seen this? It is so pretty!mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116676892734212010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390087221610436679.post-18503310242984122712011-05-17T01:56:25.601-04:002011-05-17T01:56:25.601-04:00Awwwww!!
