Many ingredients that are not fresh and can be thrown away the first time to avoid eating bad stomach after cooking, especially rotten, or moldy, these are easy to determine. But what if the potatoes are sprouted? Is it okay to eat them? A lot of young people feel that they can not eat, sprouted potatoes are toxic, but the old people think that after cooking potatoes can be eaten normally, in the end, whose argument is right? Let's take a look.

When potatoes are preserved, improper preservation will lead to potatoes sprouting, sprouted potatoes, are poisonous, such a statement is very correct. Once the potato is sprouted, a toxic alkaloid will be produced in its body.

This alkaloid is called lobeline, after eating this toxic substance, it will have a great impact on the human body, if consumed too much, it will cause vomiting, dizziness and diarrhea, and other adverse phenomena. In serious cases, it can even threaten your life.

Although sprouted potatoes are toxic, after sprouting potatoes, not inedible, potatoes produce this toxic material, mainly in the potato skin layer, in the face of sprouted potatoes, just pick off these sprouted places, and then peel off the outer skin of the potatoes two more layers, you can eat.

Secondly, when cooking potatoes, use a high-temperature environment and cook the potatoes for a short while longer, so that the potatoes are fully cooked and the toxic substance does not exist anymore. Sprouted potatoes, as long as the taste is not raw, then such potatoes, there is no problem to eat.

Potatoes sprout because they are not stored properly, so it is important to store them properly after you buy them. Let me teach you a way to preserve potatoes. Prepare a clean cardboard box in advance, and put a few layers of kitchen paper or newspaper at the bottom of the box.

Then place the prepared potatoes evenly into the carton and sprinkle some baking soda or dry flour inside, both of which have a strong adsorption effect and can adsorb excess water from the potatoes, leaving them in a dry environment so that they won't sprout.

But in the preservation of potatoes, the surface of the potatoes also remember to cover with a black bag, potatoes if encountered in direct sunlight, it will lead to the phenomenon of green potatoes, green potatoes, the taste is very difficult to eat, so that the potatoes in a light-free environment, the potatoes will not be gre

The potatoes preserved in this way will still be crispy even if they are kept for a year. The potatoes are peeled, shredded, blanched, and then stir-fried for a few minutes with the right amount of ingredients that you like to eat.
