I do find it pretty metal that these Eldritch abominations that come from a poisonous plant are some of the tastiest things on Earth.

It tried to kill us, but it failed. Was humankind metal all along?

Humans are space orca. Don't think it caught on here as much yet compared to reddit.

I think you meant to say space orcs but orcas is pretty funny too.

This is the first time I've wanted potatoes mashed but not because I'm hungry...

Just found out today if they start to sprout even a little you shouldn't eat them?

NO, that's not right. If they turn green you shouldn't eat them. If they sprout in darkness, so the sprouts are white, just pluck the sprouts off and peel like normal.

Just don't eat green potatoes.

Potatoes being green is also unrelated to them sprouting it just happens when they get too much sunlight while growing

I've had potatoes in my fridge go green. So I don't think it's only when growing.

Micromot 6 points 3 years ago

You're right I misremebered it. We usually grow our own potatatoes and there are already some green ones in there so I wrongly presumed it was only during growth

Ok, so when should they not be eaten?

Because the green indicates that toxins have formed inside the potato from exposure to sunlight

For what its worth the photo above is a sweet potato which is different and generally wont become poisonous.

Sweet potato leaves can even be eaten, they are nice stir fried with garlic and ginger.

However never try to eat regular potato leaves, they are poisonous

Also probably taste bitter and nasty, I once tried to eat a potato berry when I was younger and before I knew they weren't edible and it tasted awful. Don't judge me I was 5 and didn't know any better, but I definitely know better now.

Potatoes can literally kill you with poisonous gas if you store too many of them wrong. It was a real risk when potato cellars were still a thing.

You can start a new plant from each of those roots.
