The Truth About Sprouted Potatoes 

Never had that issue

I buy 20 pounds of russets at a time when they're on sale and keep them in a metal storage cabinet in the cool part of my basement. They last a long time and don't turn green when they're kept in the dark. If they start to sprout, I just knock the sprouts off with my fingernail.

No.

No

I'm not stupid enough to listen to you.

Ditto.

Same here.

Me, too.

@@steveludwig4200 qaa!

Same

Yep We did that or grow them for better tasting potatoes

Why?

Strange request. 🤔

@@chrisignacio8422 With all the noise coming at us 24 7 sometimes we just want a peaceful day cooking and don’t need the music.

Yes irritating.

This information comes from a university. We all know how useless they are. If it's not gender studies or finger painting, they're out of their league.

Was told the only time you don't eat them is when soft or green , have eaten soft and cut any green bits off , any sprouts just get pulled off , keep them in the dark , sometimes baby ones in fridge and had them for months , supposed to keep the out of plastic wrapping but I just open the bag well

I peel and cut out the eyes of sprouting, and plant green sprouting 10 for every 1 what would be wasted potatoes

Sure - me too - well worth a minor risk, and cuts down on World Waste, which is more of a problem.. However, spuds with more than a greenish tinge are aesthetically and taste-wise displeasing, and, out of consideration, I would not give them to an unwitting 3rd party, or a small child - imagine your feelings if one day someone fell ill from your disllike of 'waste'. Take your own risks from choice, but dont inflict them on the unwitting.

Just remember to peel off all the green . When exposed to sunlight potatoes start turning green , they are make their own pesticide . The part that has not turned green is still ok ! to eat !

Like Granny's root cellar.

Never heard of that and I`ve been storing potato`s and onions in the crisper drawer in the fridge for years and never have had an issue.

@@gunfisher4661 I think the chemical reaction shes refering changes once stored in dry enclosed area such as cabinet

Yes, my mom would give us a piece of raw potato to eat whilst waiting for supper also.

@@gunfisher4661dig some holes😎

I doubt it was a Potato. It was most likely a yam or sweet potato.

@@jessicapearson9479 Maybe, it was close to 50 years ago now. I currently have a"plain" potato growing in the same vase. It is almost ten years old now.

I was wondering about that yesterday. I was peeling some potatoes 🥔 that I grew this past summer. They have sprouted eyes and as I was peeling them I say to myself, I wonder if I planted the eyes with the peeling would they grow? Thanks for the encouraging comment.

@@BlanketyBlank9050 Not at all. We were children used to plant in rows and we got tonnes of free potatoes!

Yup. I had great success with some raggedy looking reds last year. It gave a good crop.

Yeah I threw a sprouted potato in the garden and got a healthy plant, then the season changed and it died

Right, as long as it isn't green it's safe to eat.

It's a university. They're just now catching up to the rest of us and think its all new and dazzling.

Crazy to me that you still believe all these lies 😄

Ditto!

Absolutely. As a single person who takes forever to get through a bag, I totally agree.

I have 2 ice boxes and I use to store my potatoes in the second ice box and it seemed they lasted a long time. Then I heard you should NEVER put them in the ice box, so I stop doing that. Now my store bought potatoes last, inside of a card board box , for only, 2 weeks and then they are rotten. I think I will put all those tators back in the ice box, once again.

Be careful! It's not good for you when they get green. They turn poisoness.

I work in a grocery store, we cover them when the store closes with paper. Can confirm, the lights in a retail environment alone can green a potato too.

Interesting. Even artificial lighting can make them turn green. I didn't know that. 😕

a good dollop of butter and a teaspoon of english mustard. 😋

Don't remind them, now we're going to get another 30 corned beef videos.

garlic mash potatoes or sweet potatoes are yummy

Exactly. Eating people made poison is fine.

Huh...?

How?

@@annmcdaniel1092 Dig a trench(es) n your garden in rows. Put loads of peel in lines. Cover with soil. Wait until the leaves appear. Whe tall enough reap the potatoes underneath! If too small wait a bit longer.

The 2 sprouted potatoes I bought a few days ago says otherwise. Along with the handful of other potatoes in the store that had sprouts.

Not true. Ask any diabetic with a glucose monitor and they'll tell you its bollocks.

YES....I have, for sure! I live in a very small town and ALL the veggies are rotten within days.

@@deeanthony7713 Dee your absolutely right... This has been going on for a number of years ! How Do I Know ! I do alot of my own cooking At home for many years ! And then the cost of this crap they make millions off us... And then a few weeks back bought a bag yellow gold potatoes at Sam's Club ! Left on wooden chair in my kitchen for about six or seven days ! So I begin to get this bad smell and couldn't understand where it was coming from ! Guess What... I look at those potatoes sitting there one day thinking nothing of it ! Because potatoes should have some what long shelf life Right ! Nope they were sitting in a black liquid water like substance rotten ! And that was the smell I was smelling... It was horrible ! And actually turn my wooden oak seat of my chair Black ! You talk about upset upset wasn't the word for it ! My blood was boiling ! So I started to go out and look who is selling this JUNK ! Well for anyone reading this other than Dee ! Start reading your Labels ! It will shock you where our food supply and what countries they are coming from... And not just your Veggies Also Your Fruits ! See they started with our beef an pork ! Sending out our Good Feed Beef And Pork Out ! To other countries in return ! Would ship there god only knows what there feed is ! And send their low grade junk pork and beef back from there countries ! I bet alot of you didn't even know this !

And Am One Of These People Who Is Going To Get To The Bottom Of It... And am not going to rest until I do ! Beware of what you drink an Eat

Potatoe's are introdused to the rest of the planet from South America...read INDIAN GIVENS by JACK WEATHERFORD...

its the plastic bags they use, causes moisture issues. Take them out of the bag.

@@EC-dz4bq I always do. Same with all vegetables. You should also keep potatoes in the dark if possible. Doesn't make much difference with modern supermarket potatoes though - they still don't last like they used to - hence mountains of unnecessary waste.

Any light can turn them green.

Poisoning..nice lol

I've also taken a piece of raw potato or two out of the water before it boils lol I find it delicious, but nothing more than a piece or two. What a complicated relationship I have with this...'stem'.. I never really knew thee
