Chinese yam is a root vegetable that is available in large quantities in autumn and can be stored for a long time. Under the right conditions, this vegetable can be stored for several months without deterioration. However, if Chinese yam is placed in a moist and warm place, it will sprout. So can Chinese yam still be eaten after it sprouts? Will it produce toxins like potatoes after it sprouts? I believe that friends who like to eat Chinese yam will be concerned about this issue, so let me explain it in detail below. Can yam be eaten after it sprouts?1. Yam can still be eaten after it sprouts Vegetables like yam can still be eaten after sprouting, because yam sprouting is a normal phenomenon, and it will not produce toxic nightshade. You can continue to eat it without worrying about poisoning. However, the taste of yam will change after sprouting. It is not as crispy and tender as when it is fresh, and it tastes a bit soft. 2. Yam is non-toxic after germination Yam is a type of plant in the Dioscorea family. It is not in the same family as potatoes. When it sprouts, it will only absorb nutrients and water from the tubers and will not produce substances that are toxic to the human body. However, as the yam sprouts grow, the nutrients in the yam will also be converted in large quantities. At this time, people will not be able to absorb the proper nutrients when eating yam. 3. What to do if yam sprouts Yam should be eaten as soon as it sprouts, because once yam sprouts, it means that the nutrients in its tubers have begun to be lost. At this time, it should be eaten in time and cannot be preserved. When eating, you can remove the tender shoots and skin of the yam, then cut it into slices, soak it in cold water for a few hours, and then stir-fry it. This will make it taste more crispy and tender, and the nutritional value will not be too low. It is still good for the body after eating. |
