P O T A T O E S

How often have you reached into the back of the cupboard to find a couple of soft wrinkly potatoes trying to grow more little potatoes from itself? Should you ever eat them? Answer: NO! ☠️

So what’s so wrong with eating potatoes that are soft and have sprouted? It contains a poison called solanine which if you eat enough of can cause diahorrea, vomitting and headaches. 😷Potatoes should also not be eaten if green. And cooking doesn’t make it any less toxic.

Top tip especially for those looking for activities through a long hot school summer holidays 😬 use your mouldy old sprouty spuds to make potato stamps instead 🎨(modelled here by a lovely mini G&P - and yes the paint went absolutely everywhere) 👨‍🎨👨‍🎨 👨‍🎨
