red swiss chard question

[IamLoved]

Hi!

I got some red swiss chard to put in my smoothies and I was just wondering if it is ok to eat the red stalk part of it or only the leaves? I took the leaves off of the red stemmy thing but if the red part is good too I want to add that in as well. I just want to make sure it's not poisonous before I eat it, or rather drink it. :o You know like rhubarb?
Thanks

Thank you!!

My darling husband also pointed out to me that it is the leaves of the rhubarb that are poisonous and not the stalks. Uh, oh yeah right. Oops! :p
Thanks again!
