They are not poisonous, however, I haven't tasted one so I can't comment on that. I hear however, that some Haworthia hybridizers would eat their less attractive hybrids just to get rid of them. Beyond this, I haven't heard of them being regularly eaten. I doubt they taste very good.
If you do order one from us, I don't recommend trying to eat it because we do use pesticides.
