I bought a few potatoes, and I haven't had time to cook. Now that the potatoes are green, are they poisonous?

    The stems and leaves of potato plants are poisonous, and even the potatoes themselves are poisonous. If you have carefully observed potatoes, you may find that some potatoes are slightly green, which is caused by the toxicity of glycoalkaloids. But be sure to throw away the potatoes that have green shoots or green skin, and don't cook them again.
