(I know this is not the point of this post but probably don't boil mash or stick in a stew potatoes such as this one that are already sprouting)
Wait really? I always just cut off the sprouts so it's just a potato as any?
To provide a simper, clearer answer: It's not necessarily the sprouts, but the coloration of the potato. If you go to peel it and it's green, don't eat it. When it turns green it basically is producing solanine which is toxic if consumed in large amounts, causes digestive distress. Opinions are mixed. Some say throw it, others say just peel until white. So overall sprouts don't matter, it's what is underneath the skin of the potato.
Possibly I am an idiot here, as a whole lot of people seem to think its ok to cut out the sprouts and use them anyway?
I was raised that basically once they start sprouting, at that point you should be planting them, not eating them.
As a potato sprouts, its glycoalkaloid content begins to rise. Therefore, eating potatoes that have sprouted can cause you to ingest excessive amounts of these compounds. Symptoms typically appear within a few hours to up to 1 day after eating the sprouted potatoes.
At lower doses, excess glycoalkaloid consumption typically leads to vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. When consumed in larger amounts, they can cause low blood pressure, a rapid pulse, fever, headaches, confusion, and in some cases, even death (1, 2).
I'm not a doctor or dietician or chemist or potatologist and I have no idea if this is BS, and it seems like there is fairly widespread ... mixed opinions on this, but these here doctors say eating sprouting potatoes can make you sick, even if you cut out the sprouts.
After they sprout, they also produce poisonous chemicals
That's what the de-eyeing tip of the vegetable peeler is for.
Why not? I find the greener parts of nightshades to be the most deliciously tingly
So people just throw out potatoes instead of coring the eyes? Feels super wasteful to me...
Never said to do that to the potato ;)
I am kind of sorry that I accidentally turned this into a potato discussion thread.
Please dont throw them away though, just cut out the sprouts. Theyre perfectly edible.
it's possible there won't be a trial
I don't expect the pigs will be trying especially hard to take him alive
he might not get caught!
I have a feeling the popo might be on the side of the shooter more than you think... remember they are using the same shit health insurance we do.
I mean knowing about jury nullification basically frees you of jury duty, so knowing it is generally great
