Are sprouted potatoes poisonous in a warm kitchen?

Poisonous!

Potato sprouting produces a toxin called solanine, also known as solanine. Good quality potatoes contain only 10 mg of solanine per 100 grams, while solanine can be increased by 50 times or more in green, sprouted, and rotten potatoes. Eating a very small amount of solanine may not be obvious to the human body, but if you eat 200 mg of solanine at a time (about half a tael of potatoes that have turned green and sprouted), you can get sick after 15 minutes to 3 hours.

The first symptoms are itching in the mouth and throat, pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.

If you eat 300 400 mg or more solanine, the symptoms will be severe, manifested as increased body temperature and repeated vomiting resulting in dehydration, as well as dilated pupils, photophobia, tinnitus, convulsions, dyspnea, blood pressure drop, and very few people can die due to respiratory paralysis. Therefore, patients with severe symptoms should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Attention must be paid to preventing the occurrence of potato solanine poisoning.

Do not eat unripe green-skinned potatoes.

The parts that have been slightly sprouted and blue on the potatoes and the rotten parts should be completely removed. If the area of the potato is large and there are many parts of the sprout, the potato should be thrown away.

After peeling, the potatoes are cut into small pieces and soaked in cold water for more than half an hour to dissolve the residual solanine in the water.

Using solanine to have the characteristics of weak alkaline, add an appropriate amount of rice vinegar when burning potatoes, and use the acidic effect of vinegar to decompose solanine, which can play a detoxifying role.

Cooking potatoes should be crispy and thorough, and the high temperature for a long time should be used to partially decompose solanine.

If there is a feeling of numbness in the mouth when eating potatoes, it indicates that the potatoes also contain more solanine, and you should stop eating them immediately to prevent poisoning.

Pregnant women should be especially careful if they eat too much solanine, which may cause fetal malformations.

Other vegetables depend on the situation!

Don't eat it if it sprouts!

A sucker. Potatoes that have sprouted are absolutely not to be eaten.
