Green Potatoes at the Store Again? Here’s What’s Up 🥔

Every bag of potatoes I’ve picked up lately has a green tint, and it’s honestly concerning. Green potatoes aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they contain solanine, a toxin that can cause nausea, headaches, and even more serious symptoms if eaten in large amounts. This happens when potatoes are exposed to light, which triggers the production of chlorophyll (the green color) and solanine. Cutting away the green parts can help, but if the whole potato is green, it’s best to skip it. It’s not about being overly cautious; it’s just not worth the risk. Grocery stores should be more careful with storage, but until then, I’m sticking to my homegrown stash or looking for better options. Anyone else noticing this trend lately? #Food knowledge #potatoproblems #grocerystorefinds #foodfacts
