I love them! I am 31 and have been eating them since I was a kid and nothing has happened yet! As to nutrition, I think you'd do better eating a cooked potato. Most of the starch in the potato in the raw form is harder for your body digest.

There's always a chance that you could get sick from eating a raw vegetable, but the chances are pretty small if you're washing them well and eating them fresh.


Eating raw potatoes may not be popular in this country, but it’s common in China, where HLing says julienned raw potato is mixed with vinegar and sesame oil for a refreshing summer dish. It’s crispy and not at all starchy. Sichuan restaurants serve that dish here. There are also stir-fried potato dishes that leave the potatoes quite crispy.

    The small green shoots on some ripe raw potatoes are actually poisonous so it's not a good idea.
