Patient's question:
Doctor, can the taro in my home that has sprouted be eaten? What precautions should be taken when eating it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, sprouted taro can be eaten. The reason why sprouted potatoes cannot be eaten is because they produce solanine, while taro does not contain solanine, so there is no such issue. Therefore, it is safe to consume sprouted taro. However, after sprouting, some nutrients are consumed, and the taste of sprouted taro may be slightly worse, with some reduction in nutritional value.
