What is a toxin contained in germinated potatoes?
Germinated potatoes contain solanin, also known as potato toxin.

This is a weakly alkaline biological glycoside, which is soluble in water, easily decomposed in acetic acid, and detoxified by high heat and thorough cooking. Every100g of potato contains only 5 ~10mg of solanine; Germinated potatoes or immature, blue-skinned potatoes contain several times or even dozens of times more solanine. Solanum nigrum is corrosive and hemolytic, and has paralyzing effect on motor center and respiratory center.

Please adopt it, thank you!
