Why are most of the potatoes we buy at the store green? Are they poisonous?
Answer
Green potatoes seem to be showing up more and more in stores these days. The green color is the result of the potato being exposed to sunlight after protruding from the soil’s surface. The green parts are not poisonous, but they can be bitter and should be cut out of the potato before cooking.
