Sweet potatoes with sprouts - safe to eat?!
I have a ton of sweet potatoes, and 2 or 3 of them have a couple of purple sprouts coming from it!. I know regular white potatoes are unsafe to eat if they have begun to sprout, but I can't seem to determine if sweet potatoes are safe if they have a couple of tiny sprouts coming from them!. A couple of websites say "yes, they are safe" and a couple of websites say "no, they are not safe!." Does anyone know the answer from first-hand experience!? Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

we still use them if there are only little sprouts!. i worked in a restaurant for 4 years and we used sweet potatoes for tempura and as a side on the hawaiian plate!. i sampled all the time and im still kickin'!Www@FoodAQ@Com
If there are only two or three plant themWww@FoodAQ@Com
I have never heard that sprouting potatoes are unsafe!. If I were you, I'd look for the _reason_ why those websites say they are not safe!.
FWIW, I've eaten numerous potatoes that were sprouting, and experienced no ill effects!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
