Are potatoes with greenish tint edible?

No, potatoes with a greenish tint are not edible.

Why are green potatoes inedible?

Green potatoes contain solanine, a natural toxin produced by the potato plant as a defense mechanism. Solanine is concentrated in the green parts of the potato, including the skin, sprouts, and eyes.

Symptoms of solanine poisoning:

* Nausea

* Vomiting

* Diarrhea

* Stomach cramps

* Headache

* Dizziness

* Weakness

* In severe cases, hallucinations, paralysis, and death

How to avoid green potatoes:

* Store potatoes in a cool, dark place.

* Do not store potatoes in direct sunlight.

* Remove any green parts, sprouts, and eyes before cooking.

* Discard potatoes with a significant green tint.

Note: Even if you remove the green parts, the potato may still contain harmful levels of solanine. It's always best to err on the side of caution and discard any green potatoes.
