Are green potatoes safe to eat!?
Green potatoes may cause food poisoning and since some of the symptoms are similar to gastroenteritis it is possible that some undiagnosed cases of gastroenteritis have been caused by eating green potatoes!.
Human and livestock deaths have been recorded as a result of the consumption of greened or damaged potatoes with very high glycoalkaloid levels!. It should be noted that glycoalkaloids are not destroyed by cooking processes, even by frying in hot oil!. Consequently potatoes with pronounced greening or with signs of damage should not be eaten!.
It is advisable that green or damaged potatoes are avoided by pregnant women or women who are likely to become pregnant, as there is some evidence of possible foetal damage or loss of the foetus from glycoalkaloid poisoning in animals!.
The whole potato doesnt have to be green, just some greening is enough to make you very sick!. If you start to feel sick you'd better get to a hospital!. Pay attention to any gastro symptoms!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
