Potatoes: In the sprouting part of potatoes, an ingredient called Solanum nigrum is produced. This component can inhibit the respiratory center and belongs to neurotoxin. Once eaten, it will cause toxic reaction to the body, which is very life-threatening. Although there is a saying that you can eat the sprouted part, it is difficult to determine the scope of the toxin, and it is easy to dig too shallow and eat the toxin by mistake. Just in case, throw away the potatoes as long as they sprout.

Peanut: Peanut germination itself does not produce toxins, but peanut germination is often accompanied by mildew. When peanuts and other beans are moldy, they will produce a highly toxic substance-aflatoxin, which is a first-class carcinogen, and it will be life-threatening if ingested in large quantities. Therefore, once peanuts germinate, no matter whether mildew is found or not, don't eat them again.

Sweet potato: Don't worry about the long buds of sweet potato, sweet potato and purple potato. Although they are all root foods, these potatoes do not produce toxins like potatoes. However, it should be noted that once these foods are moldy and grow black spots, don't eat them again, otherwise it will cause acute poisoning and damage to the liver.

Vegetables that are still edible after germination.

Ginger and garlic commonly used in the kitchen can continue to be eaten even after germination, and there is no need to worry about onions after germination. However, these foods will affect the taste after germination. After buying them, they should be placed in a dry and ventilated place or eaten as soon as possible.
