OK to eat sprouting potatoes dug up now?
« on: January 07, 2012, 15:45 »
Just found a few forgotten maris piper and kestrel plants. Spuds still in v good condition but sprouting. Is it OK to rub off the sprouts and eat?

THanks.

Yes.

But make sure there's no slugs.  :lol:
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Just make sure they are not green all over. The spuds, I mean.
