Apart from Potatoes, 2 Other Types of Sprouted Foods Should Not Be Eaten
1. Potatoes
When it comes to sprouted foods that should not be eaten, potatoes are certainly on the list because once they sprout, they produce a harmful substance for the human body—solanine, which is toxic.
Consuming sprouted potatoes can lead to poisoning symptoms such as dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and more severe symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and wheezing. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is not recommended to eat sprouted potatoes.
Storage Tip: Since potatoes are not easy to store, it is best to buy them according to your needs, purchasing a small amount at a time. The optimal storage location is cool (below 15°C), dry, and away from light.
