Danger in Your Pantry: Why Sprouted Potatoes Are Toxic!

• Sprouted or green potatoes contain toxic glycoalkaloids like solanine and chaconine.
• Consuming them can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, and fatigue.
• Cooking does not eliminate these dangerous toxins, making them unsafe even after preparation.
• Risks are higher for young children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.
• Instead of eating, sprouted potatoes can be planted to grow new ones at home.

Why It Matters: Avoid eating sprouted or green potatoes due to toxic glycoalkaloids; cooking doesn't remove them.
