Can sweet potatoes still be eaten after germination?
The sweet potato has sprouted and can be eaten.

Remove the sprouting place and you can eat it. However, it should be noted that the germinated sweet potato will not only lose nutrients, but also lose a lot of water, which will not only taste bad, but also lose nutritional value, so you should not eat a lot of germinated sweet potatoes.

In addition, don't eat sweet potatoes when they are rotten after germination. Because decay occurs under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, it will produce certain toxins.

Growing environment:

Sweet potato likes warm and sunny environment, likes high temperature and is not cold-resistant. The optimum temperature for growth is 20-30℃, the optimum temperature for fleshy roots is 20-25℃, and high temperature is needed for flowering and fruiting. It takes 7-8 months for the seeds to mature.

Developed root system, strong stress resistance, drought resistance, waterlogging resistance, barren resistance and other characteristics, the requirements for soil are not strict, and sandy loam with deep plough layer, high dryness and medium fertility is suitable. Clay has poor root development, rough epidermis and many fibers. The growth of tuberous roots needs proper amount of nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Too much nitrogen fertilizer often causes vines to grow white, and fleshy roots are not easy to hypertrophy.
