Potatoes can't be eaten when they germinate, but when the potatoes just germinate or the buds don't grow big, you can dig out the buds and bud eyes, and the rest can still be eaten. Because the toxin at this time is still concentrated in the bud eye and the nearby part, the toxin has not spread. In general, if you don't eat enough potatoes to cause food poisoning, there will be no problem.
Precautions for eating potatoes
1, avoid eating even the skin.
Potato skin contains a toxic substance called solanine, which can cause acute poisoning if ingested in large quantities. This toxic substance is mostly concentrated in its skin, with red skin or purple skin more than yellow skin, and the number of people whose skin turns blue with the depth of color increases. Therefore, it is necessary to peel the skin when eating, especially to peel off the green skin, because even if potatoes are peeled after being cooked with skin, about 10% of solanine in the skin may be transferred to the pulp. After poisoning, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
2, should not be excessive
When eating potatoes, we should also pay attention to not eating them in large quantities. Although potatoes are nutritious and taste good, they contain a lot of starch. If they are eaten in excess, it is likely to affect the digestion and absorption of the stomach and affect health.
3. People who are allergic to potatoes should not eat potatoes.
Potatoes may become allergens. If they are allergic to potatoes, eating potatoes may cause allergic symptoms such as skin redness, frequent diarrhea, indigestion, headache, sore throat and asthma. Therefore, such people should also avoid eating potatoes.
