Can potatoes be sprouted and cut off to eat?

Potatoes are one of the foods with very high nutritional value. Potato sprouting is also a common problem. Everyone knows that potato sprouts cannot be eaten, but it is a pity to throw them away. So many people are more concerned about sprouting potatoes. The following is just like Xiao Bian to understand that if the potato sprouts, the bud can be cut off and cannot be eaten.

Can the potatoes sprout?

It would be a shame if the potatoes were thrown away when they sprouted, so we could eat them selectively. When the potato has just sprouted and the buds have not grown much, the buds and buds can be cut out, and the rest can still be eaten, because the toxins are still concentrated in the buds and nearby parts, and the toxins have not yet expanded. Although after the above treatment, some of the toxins will remain, and the buds and bud roots will be dug during processing, and the skin will be peeled and soaked in water for half an hour before being processed. This kind of potato should not be fried with silk or fried slices. It can be braised, stewed or cooked. When cooking, it should be added with some vinegar to help accelerate the destruction of solanine and prevent solanine from harming the human body.

What are the hazards of eating sprouted potatoes?

The long sprouts of the potatoes contain a large number of deadly solanine, a weakly alkaline bio-fungus, soluble in water, easy to decompose in the case of acetic acid, high fever, cooking can be detoxification. Solanine is corrosive, hemolytic, and paralyzed at the motor center and respiratory center.

Eating a very small amount of solanine is not necessarily harmful to the human body. However, if you eat 0.2-0.4 grams of solanine at a time, it may cause poisoning. Therefore, after eating sprouted potatoes, there may be symptoms of food poisoning such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. After sprouting potatoes are processed to remove buds, the greenish tubers may still leave solanine, which can also cause poisoning. Therefore, it is not appropriate to eat sprouted potatoes.

How to prevent potato sprouting

1. Put it in a straw bag, a sack or in a basket loaded with pad paper. Put the potatoes in straw bags, sacks or baskets of pad paper. Spread a layer of dry sand on them and store them in a cool, dry place. Can delay the sprouting of potatoes.

2. Put immature potatoes together. Place the potatoes in an old carton and place a few immature ones in the old carton. These potatoes will emit some ethylene gas during the ripening process. The ethylene gas can keep the potatoes fresh for a long time.

3, do not use a solid plastic bag when storing. The use of dense plastic bags will not allow them to breathe. This will cause the carbon dioxide that the potatoes call out to escape into the air, thus increasing the temperature around the potatoes and increasing the germination rate of the potatoes.

4, into the cellar to save. Conditional, you can dig a small cellar, make the temperature appropriate, and ventilate every few days, you can save potatoes for several months is not bad. Putting the potatoes in a low-temperature, ventilated, dry place while avoiding sunlight can prolong the storage period of the potatoes.

5, avoid light. Darkness is the so-called dark place. The first condition of potato sprouting is the need of light. If it is isolated from the light, its chance of germination will become very small.
