I like potatoes very much. I know that sprouted potatoes cannot be eaten. Why can't sprouted potatoes be eaten?

    Germinated or immature potatoes are poisoned when eaten. They contain the toxic substance solanine, which can easily cause poisoning after ingestion. In winter, potatoes should be stored in a place with low temperature and no direct sunlight; a little vinegar can be added during cooking, which can destroy toxins.
