Germinated yam is best not to eat. Because germination indicates that yam has begun to carry out life activities, although it does not produce harmful substances such as solanine like potato germination, the nutrients in it have been reduced, so it may have an impact on the human body. If you really want to eat, you can dig out the sprouted parts and eat them.

Yam germination is non-toxic and will not affect eating. However, the germination of yam shows that life has begun to grow. Germination will lead to the decline of nutrients in yam, and there will be few nutrients lost by slight germination, while more serious germination will lead to much loss.

If the yam sprouts, you can remove the buds and eat them again. Once the yam germinates, it indicates that its nutrients are losing a lot. If you want to eat this kind of yam, you should eat it when its buds are still short. When eating, remove the meat quality of the yam in the buds and long buds, peel and slice it and soak it in water. It can also appropriately increase the brittleness of the germinated yam, and the taste will not be too bad.

But the best way is to pay attention to preservation to avoid the occurrence of yam germination. In order to avoid the germination of yam, it can be stored in the refrigerator, so it is not easy to germinate. But if the storage temperature is too low, yam will rot easily, so the best storage temperature is between 5℃- 10℃. If yam turns black, it must not be eaten.
