Are green potatoes safe to eat?
Generally speaking, green potatoes are safe to eat, it’s just that you probably won’t want to because of the bitter taste. The green color comes from the formation of chlorophyll, a pigment found in many plant foods including lettuce. A substance associated with chlorophyll known as solanine is the culprit behind the bitter taste in green potatoes.
The primary reason potatoes can turn green is exposure to light, either sunlight or artificial light. We make every effort to avoid this from happening; however, this is not always under our control at every step of the distribution process. Potatoes may become exposed to light and turn green beyond our last inspection point.
