Whilst digging some of the maincrop, I noticed that one plant had
a couple of potatoes on the surface which were green, I covered
them hoping that they would lose the green and become edible.


They will lose the green, but whether they become edible is a different
matter, in other words it is possible that they will lose the green but
still retain the high levels of solanin which were produced when they
were green.


Well, they never have lost it when I tried that.


The solanin? How do you know?
