Sprouted Moong vs. Potatoes: Why One's Superfood, Other's Toxic!

• Sprouted moong and moth beans are healthy seeds, increasing nutrients like Vitamin C and protein.
• Potatoes are tubers; sprouting converts starch to sugar and produces toxic compounds like solanine and chaconine.
• Green patches on potatoes indicate solanine, which can cause stomach issues, vomiting, and food poisoning.
• Discard soft potatoes with large sprouts; for firm potatoes with small sprouts, deeply cut off the affected part.
• Store potatoes away from onions in a dark, cool place to prevent premature sprouting.

Why It Matters: Sprouted legumes are beneficial, but sprouted potatoes are toxic due to solanine; handle with care.
