    🟢 Key Points
    → The green indicates an increase in glycoalkaloids.
    → When the potato is green, chlorophyll and solanine levels dramatically increase.
    → Greening is the result of exposure to light, and this can occur in the field when potato tubers poke out of the ground.
    → The green color itself is not harmful; it may indicate the presence of a toxin called solanine.
    → Peeling green potatoes can help reduce solanine levels.
