Can you eat partially green potatoes?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

If a small part of your potato has turned green, fear not. There is no need to toss the whole spud. Simply cut off the green part and use the rest of the potato safely. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, it's best to also remove the potato's skin because more solanine can be found in the skin. 3 мар. 2022 г.


Can you eat potatoes with a green tinge?

Green potatoes should be taken seriously. Although the green color itself is not harmful, it may indicate the presence of a toxin called solanine. Peeling green potatoes can help reduce solanine levels, but once a potato has turned green, it's best to throw it away.

What happens if you eat slightly green potatoes?

Reports of potato poisoning state that unripe, sprouting, or green potatoes contain toxic alkaloids, including solanine. When ingested, they can cause drowsiness, weakness, apathy, and gastrointestinal symptoms. This is rare — in most cases, potatoes are safe to eat and are a staple food in many countries.
