Sprouted, no moldy edible
Many people think that sprouted peanuts are inedible because they produce a lot of aflatoxin (a carcinogen). In fact, peanut sprouting is not inedible, just because the environmental conditions required for peanut sprouting and mildew are the same.
Many sprouted peanuts will also appear moldy phenomenon, this is because the long sprouted peanut skin is damaged, it is easy to breed aflatoxin, and the moldy peanut aflatoxin content will be very high, so, many people see the sprouted peanuts do not eat is also reasonable.

Potatoes: sprouting, not eating
Potatoes are the most easily germinated vegetables. Many housewives throw away potatoes when they see their skin turning green or sprouting.
Potatoes contain a natural "weapon" - solanine, which can protect potatoes from mold and insects. However, if people take too much solanine, they will suffer from numbness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other toxic symptoms. And the toxin is most present in budding potatoes.
Experts suggest that:
First, peel the potatoes and reduce your intake of solanine. Secondly, if you eat potatoes whose skin turns green or sprouts, the risk of taking solanine is quite high. Therefore, if the area of potatoes turns green or sprouts is small, you should cut off this part and leave a good part.
When cooking, vinegar can be added to dissolve and destroy the toxin. It is recommended not to buy more every time and store it at home. If you really need to store it, you should also store it in a place with low temperature and no direct sunlight.
Sweet potato - can cause poisoning after germination
When sweet potato germinates, its epidermis appears brown or black spots, which is caused by the contamination of Alternaria alternata. Although the toxin discharged from sweet potato is boiled and roasted in water, its biological activity will not be destroyed. It can not only cause acute poisoning, but also damage liver function. So it's not edible.
