🍽️ Can You Eat Potatoes with Sprouts? 🥔🤔
Before you turn those old potatoes into dinner tonight — here’s what experts want you to know!
👉 Sprouted potatoes aren’t automatically bad, but caution is needed.
✔️ If the potato is still firm with only small sprouts, you can remove the sprouts and green-tinged areas and safely cook the rest.
❌ Do not eat the sprouts or heavily green parts — these contain natural plant toxins (solanine & chaconine) that can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and more.
❌ If a potato is soft, wrinkly, green throughout, or has big sprouts, it’s best to throw it away.
💡 Tip: Store potatoes in a cool, dark, dry place — this helps prevent sprouting and keeps them fresher longer!
