Four kinds of daily vegetables that are easily poisoned

Editor's recommendation: What foods have longevity effects

　　sprouted potatoes

　　Potatoes are one of the vegetables commonly eaten on the family table, but they contain the toxic component solanine (potatotoxin, solanine). The whole potato plant contains this toxin. However, the content in each part is different. Mature potatoes contain less and generally do not cause poisoning. However, potato buds, flowers, leaves and the outer skin of tubers contain higher levels of solanine. The toxin in the potato buds is even dozens to hundreds of times higher than the fleshy part. Immature green potatoes or potato tubers with dark spots due to improper storage contain extremely toxic substances.

　　To prevent potato poisoning, we can store potatoes in a dry and cool place to prevent them from sprouting. When eating, if you find sprouts or the skin and flesh are dark green, it is best not to eat it.

　　daylily

　　Daylily, also known as daylily, is one of people's favorite dishes. However, daylilies contain colchicine. If colchicine is ingested by the human body, it will be oxidized in human tissues to produce colchicine. Colchicine is a highly toxic substance that can poison the human gastrointestinal tract and urinary system, posing a serious threat to healthy . If an adult eats 50 to 100 grams of fresh daylily at a time, it can cause poisoning.

　　To prevent fresh daylily poisoning, boil the fresh daylily in boiling water for a while and then soak it in clean water to remove most of the water-soluble colchicine. You can also boil fresh day lily thoroughly, then cook and eat it.
