The toxic component of potato is solanine, also known as potato endotoxin. It is a weak alkaline microbial glycoside, which can dissolve water, easily dissolve in case of glacial acetic acid, and detoxify after high fever and boiling through.
Only 5-10mg solanine is contained per 100g of potatoes; The content of solanesin in budding potatoes or unripe, dark skinned potatoes has increased many times or even dozens of times. Solanin is corrosive and hemolytic, and can numb the nerve center and respiratory center of fitness and exercise.
If you find that potatoes are showing signs of sprouting, you should add a little vinegar when cooking to accelerate the destruction of sunflower and avoid the adverse effects of sunflower on your body. In addition, when cooking potatoes, you should also pay attention to cooking more than 10 minutes, and try to cook the potatoes as well as possible. You don't need to eat less cooked potatoes.

Can I eat potatoes when they turn yellow
Potatoes are yellow and cannot be eaten. Since potatoes are the vegetables and fruits that everyone eats, and even some people will choose them for dinner, but potatoes are very easy to change color. At this time, the ingredients of sunflower in potatoes are relatively rich, which will cause poisoning if taken.
When we find that the potatoes are discolored, we must dig out all the yellowing spots when we eat them, and we must constantly expand the digging. We must also cook them before we can eat them. Raw potatoes must not be taken, and not too cooked potatoes need not be eaten. After being heated, the solanine contained in potatoes will be destroyed, and it is not easy to be poisoned if you eat them again.
How can potatoes change color
Many people have doubts about why potatoes change color. At this time, we expose potatoes to the sun while storing them, which will speed up the change of color. If placed in a shady area, potatoes will also change color, but the speed is very slow. As potatoes can carry out plant photosynthesis, they will gradually grow and develop, and then show signs of life and change color.
