They say that the potato sprouts are poisonous, so cut it off and eat it.
Can I eat the green part of the potato?

Solanine, a toxic substance contained in potatoes, is caused by potatoes turning green when exposed to sunlight. In particular, you should be more careful in the spring season of March and April when potatoes sprout. Solanine is the most common in potato sprouts. Then there is a lot in the shell and the least in the flesh. Solanine is not only contained in potatoes, but also in the same eggplant and plants, tomatoes and peppers. However, because it is extremely small, you can eat it with confidence.

The green part of the potato is also toxic called solanine, so it's better not to eat it.
