Is it okay to cut off the potato sprouts after they’ve sprouted?



Cutting off the potato sprouts after they have sprouted is also not recommended.

Potatoes are a common ingredient on the dinner table, and potatoes are prone to sprouting under the right temperature and humidity, and after sprouting, a large amount of the toxin aragonovine will gather in the long-sprouted parts. Although the unsprouted part will have a lower level of arachidonin than the sprouted part, the arachidonin will increase in the whole potato after sprouting, so it is not recommended to consume it after sprouting.

If you have dug up the sprouted parts and eaten them, there is no need to worry too much, pay attention to observe the changes in the body, once vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, you need to immediately consult a doctor and detoxification treatment.
