Even if sweet potatoes germinate, they will not produce toxins like potatoes, so eating such sweet potatoes will not be harmful to the body. As long as the buds on the sweet potato are removed, it is completely edible. However, after germination, the sweet potato loses a lot of water and its nutritional value is greatly reduced, so it tastes bad and loses its edible value. If you are a person who pursues the ultimate taste, you can give up sprouting sweet potatoes.
