Can I continue to eat carrots and potatoes after they sprout? There is a vegetable to eat

The temperature rises in spring, and the indoor temperature during the day can reach about 26 degrees Celsius. Many people like to store the vegetables they bought in a cool and dry place. Especially the storage-stable potatoes and carrots can be eaten for about a week if you buy them all at once. But recently, some people have discovered that carrots and potatoes sprout one after another, and even putting them in the refrigerator cannot stop them from continuing to sprout.

From the perspective of food safety, can potatoes and carrots continue to be eaten after they have sprouted? Will regular eating cause food poisoning?

First, let’s take a look at carrots. Carrots are known as "little ginseng" in folk. Compared with other vegetables, although it can't compare with dietary fiber, protein, and many kinds of trace elements, the content of β-carotene that can be ranked at the top is definitely the ability to protect eyes. Moreover, its orange color and sweet taste can stimulate appetite, and it is a good vegetable to match various delicious dishes.

Also, the previous belief that carrots can only be absorbed by a lot of oil can be absorbed. As long as there is fat in the intestines and stomach, that is to say, before eating carrots, the fat food can be used by the body under the digestion and absorption of the intestines and stomach and the action of bile.

For sprouted carrots, it is actually because carrots start to split and differentiate under proper temperature and moisture conditions. As time goes by, carrots will slowly grow small buds. At the same time, the carrot itself will supply the sprouting part of the nutrition, so that the nutritional value of the whole carrot will be reduced, but it will not produce harmful substances.

In principle, sprouted carrots are still edible, but they are low in taste and nutrition. If you really care, you can also develop it into a potted plant.

For germinated potatoes, the potato itself has solanine components. After a certain period of time germinates, solanine is more toxic. Whether it is in animal experiments or human consumption, it cannot be resisted, especially those with weaker bodies, such as weak digestion and weakened immunity, are prone to poisoning, causing nausea and vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, and diarrhea.

Therefore, you should not try this kind of vegetables lightly. Just like sprouted potatoes, green potatoes cannot be eaten. Ordinary household cooking, removing sprouts and blue parts, cannot achieve the goal of removing solanine, and throwing it away is the best policy.

In terms of preservation, you can put carrots and potatoes in dark bags and put them in the refrigerator freezer to extend the food shelf life.
