Tom has read that when potatoes turn green that they produce a venom that is dangerous to humans. Is this true and if so how dangerous are these green buggers

Very. This is an absolute disgrace and no mistake.

It's time to take back control of our great British spuds, Tom.

We've eaten potatoes that are turning green and never been ill. If we are making a meal and the only potatoes we have are turning green we will use them up. Can't have a Sunday roast without potatoes.

When exposed to daylight pototoes turn green. The green is harmless chlorophyll but is an indicator of increased levels of a chemical called Solanine in the potato which can cause stomach upset, stomach cramps and some neurological disorders. Having said that, you need to eat a lot of green potatoes to cause problems.

Is Solanine an artificial chemical like a sweetener ?

I have eaten mildly green potatoes on numerous occasions, with no adverse effects, but I always peeled the spuds before cooking.

The so-called venom is actually a toxin, that is related to Belladonna; venom can only be produced by animate objects such as snakes, scorpions, ants, spiders, etc.

Individuals with health problems or compromised immune systems should probably avoid potatoes that have been excessively exposed to sunlight, that turn progressively greener

Green potatoes are a sign that they've not been stored properly. It's also an indicator that they contain solanine which will give you an upset stomach. There's not enough solanine in a potato to cause serious damage though.

My grandparents pretty much survived on them in a Russian gulag during WW2.

When I was little, I remember potatoes were bought in a thick paper sack, covered in mud. Now they come washed, in clear plastic bags or loose, which surely exposes them to light??

...Is this a supermarket ploy to make us buy more potatoes?

I store mine in hessian sacks. Keeps out the sunlight but let’s the air circulate to keep them cool to prevent them from rotting.

Hessian or jute sacks are ideal above ground storage but washing potatoes seems to reduce their storage time.

Potatoes, after having been dug, depending on whether they were earlies or lates, were traditionally stored in a bing, which was above ground, dry, but covered in straw and soil to protect this valuable staple from rain, frost, etc.

When planting potatoes, the key is to plant your earlies late, and your latest early.

The principal variety of potatoes used by McDonalds is an american variety called Russet Burbank, that is never available in retail shops!

They're the daddy long legs of vegetables. Produce a potent venom but no delivery system in to the human body so pretty pointless

Abso-fucking-lutly!

Much better to have poisonous potatoes on a plate than none at all. Especially if it's Sunday and the meal is a roast.

Yes and nectarines/peaches.

The husk of the caster bean (that we use for castor oil) contains ricin, one of the deadliest poisons around.

I believe venom is a liquid produced by snakes and other creatures, not by potatoes or other vegetation.

Best not let the green potato bite you then, Time

Needn’t worry about apple seeds since I’ve eaten a few & had no issues. Guessing you’d have to thoroughly chew and swallow at a vast amount of seeds before experiencing any adverse effects (not suggesting any1 puts it to the test). As for green potatoes can’t say I’ve had any but unlikely they’d be harmful if thoroughly cooked...!
