Sprouted potatoes should not be eaten. Sprouted potatoes produce a toxin called lobelia, which is a toxic alkaloid. Food poisoning may occur after consuming sprouted potatoes. Once food poisoning is caused, symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting may occur in mild cases, while in severe cases, it may lead to respiratory muscle paralysis, respiratory distress, and shock, etc. Severe food poisoning may even be life-threatening. Even if you remove the sprouted part of the potato, you can’t completely remove the lobelia alkaloids from the sprouted potato. If the potatoes are sprouted, it is recommended to discard them in time and not to consume them again, so as not to cause food poisoning, which is harmful to the body and life. It is recommended to choose more fresh ingredients in daily life.
