Are sprouted potatoes safe?
No matter how much care I take to store Russet potatoes, or other potatoes, they always grow sprouts after a few days. I store them in a paper bag, in my laundry room where it is cold and dark (and the dryer, which I don't use often, exhausts outside).<p>Yet when I buy them at the grocery story, I see no sprouts.<p>Given the time it takes to get from the farm to the grocery store, no doubt these potatoes have been sprouting during their journey. Does the grocery store remove the sprouts before they put them out for sale?
