The high concentration of malic and oxalic acid in rhubarb not only makes it so sour - it is also able to stop pathogenic bacteria in the stomach and intestines.
Good to know: Red rhubarb varieties, i.e. with red skin and red pulp, have a finely sweet taste. In contrast to their green counterparts, they contain less fruit and oxalic acid and do not need to be peeled before cooking.
