2. Many people think that potatoes cannot be eaten when they germinate, and so can purple potatoes. In fact, potatoes belong to the Solanaceae family, and solanin is produced after germination. This toxin is mainly distributed in Solanaceae plants, so it cannot be eaten; while purple potatoes belong to the family Spirulaceae, which does not produce toxins after germination, so they can be eaten.

3. The starch content of purple potato is relatively high, the enzyme that degrades starch will be produced in the process of germination, and toxin will be produced in the process of degradation, and the purple potato after germination is easy to mildew and rot, and it is easy to be poisoned after eating, so we should pay attention to it.

4. After the purple potato sprouts, a large number of its nutrients will be transferred around the tender buds to supply the tender buds to grow.
