Any Q

Are they OK to eat? A: Black spots in potatoes are mostly attributed to internal bruises or the result of sugar concentrations brought on by any of several pre or post-harvest conditions and are generally harmless.


Can you eat black part of potato?

Potatoes with black spots are edible, but it is best to cut the bruised parts away as they tend to taste bitter. Compared to other edible plants, potatoes—the starchy tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, originally grown in the Americas and brought to the Old World by Columbus—are quite hardy.

What does it mean if the inside of my potato is black?

When you store a potato at a low temperature, the insides have sugar that turns black. These are likely the black spots you see inside your potato. The sugars will make those particular parts of the potato sweeter than the other parts.
