WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT POTATOES – BEWARE!

The green potato leaves contain approximately 0.06 per cent solanin, the flowers 0.6 per cent and the fruits, which look like green berries, about 1 per cent. The white eyes or sprouts on the potatoes themselves are very dangerous, the green ones even worse. As soon as they begin to appear, in winter or spring, cut them out carefully. They are especially bad for the eyes. When the tubers grow a little above the soil and turn green, make sure to cut the green part off since it is poisonous. These rules are simple and can be followed without any difficulty. However, this need for care does not mean that a plant which is considered dangerous cannot also be most useful, even contain food and remedial properties -as the potato clearly proves.
