Sweet potato is rich in nutrition and has high nutritional value and medicinal value. But if the sweet potato germinates, the germinated sweet potato cannot be eaten.

1, germinated sweet potatoes can't be eaten.

Germinated sweet potatoes are forbidden to be eaten raw and highly toxic. Germinated sweet potato, also known as Phoenix potato, contains toxic components such as sweet potato ketone. When I was a child, my hometown raised cattle in the countryside, and the sweet potatoes at home sprouted. My parents felt it was a pity to throw it away, so they "rewarded" the sprouted sweet potatoes and fed them more than 30 kilograms. Unexpectedly, the cow died of poisoning after eating the germinated sweet potato, and her parents wanted to cry. You can also see the foam in the cow's mouth. Cattle were the main force of rural cultivated land in the past. At that time, there was no mechanical farming, and crops could only be grown in Niu Gengdi. Since then, sweet potatoes have not been planted at home for many years. Germinated sweet potatoes are highly toxic when they are immature, but they are also toxic when they are ripe. Don't experiment with your health. After the germinated sweet potato is cooked, a small amount of it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and severe vomiting and diarrhea.

2, people with poor stomach quickly germinate sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato contains a lot of starch, and cooked sweet potato can destroy the cell membrane of starch, which is more conducive to digestion and absorption. Without germination, normal sweet potatoes should not be eaten more. People with a bad stomach can't eat too many sweet potatoes or don't eat them, let alone germinated sweet potatoes.

Conclusion: Excessive consumption of sweet potato "heartburn", people with poor stomach try not to eat sweet potato, sweet potato promotes gastric acid secretion, which is a burden to the stomach, which is why fewer people often eat sweet potato in rural areas. Germinated sweet potatoes are even more inedible. Eating raw germinated sweet potatoes is highly toxic, so don't take chances.
