Green Potatoes
Potatoes are a versatile food people can cook as a side dish or incorporate into soups and casseroles. However, potatoes sometimes turn green, which may indicate high levels of a potentially toxic compound. In general, people should not eat green potatoes unless they take certain safety precautions, such as cutting away all the green parts of the vegetable that contain the poisonous compound, which is called solanine.
Raw Bitter Almond
Bitter almonds contain a toxin known as glycoside amygdalin. When eaten, this toxin gets broken down into several compounds, including hydrogen cyanide, a toxic compound that can cause death. Case studies suggest that swallowing 6–10 raw bitter almonds is sufficient to cause serious poisoning in the average adult, while ingesting 50 or more can cause death. Smaller numbers are likely to have the same harmful effects in children or young adults.
Undercooked Red kidney Beans
Cooking your own beans is a great way to save money, reduce waste and lower your sodium consumption, but eating improperly cooked beans can lead to serious illness. This is especially true for kidney beans. Eating raw or undercooked kidney beans can lead to food poisoning, including symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Only a few beans are needed to cause poisoning.
