Should you throw away potatoes with sprouts?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Although sprouts may look unappealing, recently sprouted potatoes are still safe to eat as long as you remove the sprouts. You can do so by simply snapping them off with your fingers. You shouldn't eat the sprouts because they contain solanine, chaconine, and other toxic glycoalkaloids. 13 мар. 2020 г.


Are potatoes that have sprouted safe to eat?

Ultimately, the best way to protect yourself is to toss out potatoes containing green patches or sprouting. However, if you do notice sprouting or a green tint in some areas, you can try and remove them with a sharp paring knife and still cook with the rest of the potato (although this isn't recommended).

What to do with potatoes that have sprouted?

You can eat slightly sprouted potatoes as long as they feel firm and you remove the sprouts first. Just like green potato skin, potato sprouts contain solanine, a bitter compound that can make you sick.
