If the potato has only one bud, you can remove the part with the long bud and eat the part without the long bud rot. When the potato just germinates or the bud is not big enough, you can dig out the bud and the bud eye, 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.
However, if the surface of the potato is moldy and blue, or a potato has several buds, it should be thrown away without hesitation. Even if the bud of this potato is cut off, there is no poisoning after eating it, and there is little nutrition left, and the taste is also very poor.
If you are worried that digging out the sprouted part of potatoes will have a negative impact on your health, you can peel the potatoes after digging out the buds and roots, soak them in water for more than half an hour before processing and eating, and it will be safer to eat. In addition, such potatoes are not suitable for frying silk or chips, and it is best to eat them by braising, stewing or boiling. Because solanine is easy to decompose when it meets acid, proper amount of vinegar can be added when cooking, which can accelerate the destruction of solanine and prevent solanine from causing harm to human body. And try to cook potatoes as well as possible, and don't eat half-baked potatoes.
