Sometimes when we buy vegetables, we buy too much. When we can't finish eating, we will keep them, and they will sprout when we keep them. Some people are very frugal and continue to eat after removing the sprouting parts. In fact, this is a more dangerous behavior, because some vegetables are poisonous when they germinate, and eating it will affect their health. Which vegetables should not be eaten after they have sprouted? Let us take a look together next.
Which vegetables should not be eaten after they have sprouted?
1, potatoes
Potatoes that germinate and cannot be eaten are common knowledge that many people understand, but most people think that potatoes that cannot be eaten germinated are that the germinated parts cannot be eaten, and other parts It is edible, which is a rather wrong idea. Potatoes germinate and produce a toxic substance. This toxic substance is called solanine, which is also called potato toxin. It is very irritating and corrosive to the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as paralyzing the central nervous system. The effect can also cause a series of other emergencies and even death. The sprout of potatoes indicates that the solanine in the potato itself has reached a stage of large-scale production. Cut off the potatoes with the buds in time, and the other parts also contain this toxic substance. To be on the safe side, it is better to throw away the whole potato.
2, sweet potatoes
sweet potatoes are not edible if they have sprouted. The reason why they can’t be eaten has nothing to do with the germination itself, but it has a lot to do with mildew, because sprouted sweet potatoes are also accompanied by mildew. Change the situation. Moldy sweet potatoes will produce toxic substances called sweet potato ketones, which will also cause poisoning when eaten, which is very harmful to human health. So if you see moldy and sprout sweet potatoes, you should still throw them away. This is also for the sake of health.
