You can make a delicious  cold sweet soup with raw rhubarb

Hi, Esben.  I thought we were not supposed to eat raw spinach or rhubarb due
to the oxalic (sp?) acid they contain.  Doesn't it leach calcium out of our
bones or something?

I gave up rhubarb, which I love, years ago after reading about the oxalic
acid problem.
