When the potatoes have just sprouted and the parts are very small, you can dig out a piece of the buds and bud eyes, and the remaining parts can still be eaten. At this time, the toxins are still concentrated in the bud eyes and nearby parts, and the toxins have not yet spread. For potatoes with slightly larger buds, the toxin has spread, and the first part of the spread is the cortex. Therefore, for this kind of potato, in addition to digging out a piece at the eye of the bud, you should also cut off a piece near it.

Potato storage methods: dark storage method, apple storage method, baking soda storage method, refrigerator storage method.

1. Dark preservation method

The growth of plants is inseparable from light, temperature and water, and potatoes are no exception. Therefore, we want to prevent potatoes from growing buds and block these growth. a necessary factor. First, we can choose to store potatoes in the dark. First, we put the potatoes into a plastic bag, tie it tightly to isolate the air, then put the plastic bag into a black bag, and then store it in a cool and ventilated place.

2. How to preserve apples

Apples can release a substance called ethylene, which can ripen fruits. At the same time, ethylene can inhibit the growth of plant buds, so we can Use the ethylene released from apples to prevent potatoes from sprouting.

We choose a plastic bag, put the potatoes and an apple in it, then tie the plastic bag tightly, and then store it in a cool, ventilated and dark place. After the potatoes are eaten, we can eat the apples without any impact.

3. Baking soda preservation method

Baking soda is a seasoning in our kitchen and is often used in life. Baking soda has a strong adsorption effect, so we can use this property of baking soda to preserve potatoes.

Take a piece of paper, sprinkle an appropriate amount of baking soda, then wrap it, put it into a plastic bag together with the potatoes, and tie it tightly. Baking soda can keep the potatoes in a dry environment without moisture. , which can inhibit potato sprouts. To be on the safe side, we still store potatoes in a cool, ventilated and dark environment.
