The stems and leaves of potato plants are poisonous, and even the potato itself is poisonous. If you look at potatoes carefully, you may find that some potatoes are slightly green, which is caused by the toxicity of glycoside alkaloids. In the past, there have been cases of death from potato poisoning. Although rare, most of them are due to drinking potato leaf tea or eating green potatoes. The fatal incident is not sudden, and the parties are often weak at first and fall into a coma after eating. Don't worry about the occasional green potato chips, but be sure to throw away the potatoes with green shoots or skins, don't cook them any more, and pay special attention not to give them to children.

Potato leaves are toxic, so they are not recommended and have no nutritional value. Potatoes contain some toxic alkaloids, mainly solanine and mucormycol, but the toxic substances will decompose after being cooked at a high temperature of 170℃. Solanine is contained in potato, and its toxic component is solanine (C45H73O 15N), also known as potato toxin, but its content is extremely low (0.005%-

0.0 1%), not enough to cause poisoning. However, after potato germination, the content of solanine in bud and bud eyes can be as high as.
