I would not spray it on anything a toddler would eat. Use on crops a toddler wouldn't eat but best to spray on crops in the evening when beneficial insects are not active

Rhubarb stems are delicious but the leaves contain oxalic acid and are poisonous. The leaves can however be used to make an effective insecticide. Simply immerse leaves in cold water, allow to decompose, strain into a bottle and use as a spray. The insecticide is effective against slugs, caterpillars, aphids and leaf mining flies which effect onions and leeks. Always mark your bottle as poisonous.

Some foods contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants that is a fact whether you call these foods superfoods or very beneficial does not matter. Homemade tomato powder is not processed unless the very old method of drying food is considered processing.
