Medicinal properties of potato sprouts. What benefits bring and how to make a tincture of them?

For some reason, there was an erroneous view that potatoes are the main component of a hearty lunch. And besides the calories in its composition there is nothing useful. But this is absolutely not the case.

Potatoes - a vitamin product that has healing properties and with proper use, can protect against a whole bunch of diseases. This vegetable contains the largest amount of potassium among other plants. Namely, potassium is responsible for maintaining water balance in the body. Benefit brings not only the potato itself, but its sprouts, which will tell in detail.

Composition

Then we will discuss root-root processes that appear six months after the harvest.

All saw them, but few know what they consist of.

Chemical composition

The main function of potato sprouts is a new life.. First of all, they are needed to reproduce the young plant. Therefore, have a rich composition:

• amino acids;
• Sahara;
• minerals: calcium, potassium, magnesium, chlorine, iron, phosphorus, sodium;
• vitamins: A, C, E, PP, H and almost all of the B group;
• solanine alkaloid;
• starch.

Separately, we would like to note that solanine is a toxic substance that is harmful to the human body in large volumes (for more information about what solane is in potatoes and why it is so dangerous, you can find it here).

However, it is low in potato, so it is safe. The amount of 200-400 µg solanine is considered critical. 100 g of potato contains 2-10 mcg of dangerous solanine.

That is, if a person eats 1 kg of sprouted potatoes with skin and sprouts, then poisoning is possible. Solanine causes arousal, and then depression of the nervous system, the decomposition of red blood cells. For humans and animals, solanine can be toxic. Due to a significant reduction in the content of solanine in modern potatoes, intoxication has become rare.
