How to store potatoes so they don't sprout.
You should not stock up on potatoes at home just because they can grow shoots quickly. When potatoes have sprouted, usually the texture or taste also changes. So, let's learn how to save it below.
1. Store in a dark and cool place.
A dark, cool place such as a basement or refrigerator is an ideal place to store potatoes. Temperatures that are too warm can stimulate shoot growth.
2. Keep away from direct sunlight.
Exposure to sunlight can stimulate shoot growth in potatoes. Store potatoes in a dark place or in special opaque potato bags.
3. Do not store together with fruit.
Fruits such as apples emit ethylene gas which can stimulate potatoes to sprout. Keep potatoes away from these fruits.
4. Choose potatoes that have not yet sprouted when stored.
When you choose potatoes for storage, make sure they don't have small shoots or signs of early growth.
5. Check regularly.
Even if you have stored your potatoes in a suitable location, it is still a good idea to check them periodically. Discard any potatoes that have sprouted or are damaged.
