MOSCOW, 14 May. Young potatoes should be consumed without the skin and green spots on the tuber, according to Focus.de. It is noted that green spots on young potatoes are due to the presence of solanine in the skin, which can cause nausea and diarrhea. This substance helps protect the tubers from animals. Due to the presence of solanine, young potatoes are recommended to be consumed without peel, as well as getting rid of green spots. If the potato is fresh and the peel is not damaged, its use is less dangerous for the body. In addition, the product cannot be stored for a long time, and if a dish from it is bitter, then it is better not to eat it.
