I bought some of those delicious tiny potatoes. Put them in veg bin

SPROUTING! If they're babies, why are they prematurely geriatric.



I always loved to see them sprout. Means they truly were organic.


No, sprouting does not mean that they are organic.



True. Just means they were not sprayed with anti-sprouting
agents. Also means they are still alive. And,
conventional producers usually spray their stuff.


It's been several years since I've gone through potatoes quickly.
Every bag of supermarket russets that I've bought in that time
(typically each Thanksgiving) has sprouted and started to grow.
