Most of the sprouted potatoes can't be eaten if they are cut off. Germinated potatoes will produce toxic ingredients, which may lead to food poisoning after eating.

The toxic components of solanine are easily produced in germinated potatoes. Even if the germinated tissue is cut off from other parts that are not germinated, the toxic components of solanine may increase, which may cause toxic components to enter the digestive system and enter the body after eating, which may easily cause food poisoning in the body, nausea, retching and abdominal pain when using the body, and may also cause diarrhea, general fever, dizziness and headache. Most of the nutrients have been destroyed, which can not supplement human nutrition and health after eating, so the germinated potatoes can not be eaten after cutting off the germinated parts, which is conducive to reducing adverse reactions and harm.

Usually, potatoes should be stored in a dry and cool place, which is conducive to prolonging the storage time, preventing germination and reducing the risk of poisoning due to eating germinated potatoes. Potatoes can generally be ingested in a variety of ways, such as cold salad or cooking, soup, etc., which is of great benefit to health and reduces harm.
