Hey /fit/ apparently undercooked or raw sweet potatoes can be poisonous due to being classed in the nightshade class of plant.
Anyone else deal with this particular bloating hell before?
Of course my reCAPTCHA asks which of these are food and there's fucking sweet potatoes.
Normal potatoes are also of the nightshade family. That in itself does not guarantee that they will be poisonous when raw.
This is day two of having a daily main lunch meal based on a stuffed sweet potatoe recipe (each one is about 1.5 lbs) it halfway cooked after oven roasting.
Went home at 2pm early from work, feels like a knife in my stomache, woke up 40 minutes ago (3:30central) and puked 5 times.
All sweet potatoe.

Never had any problems with sweet potatoes.
Just bake them in the oven and they'll come out great.
Never had this issue before having undercooked sweet potatoes a lot..do you usually eat a lot of veg op?

Sweet potato isn't a nightshade, it's a morning glory. They're in the same class, but so is sage and mint and they're hardly toxic

>I eat raw potatoes, raw tomatoes, raw peppers, and raw huckleberries and still not poisoned.
>All nightshades

You're correct in that both potatoes and deadly nightshade are both in the Solanaceae family, however it's just the leaves that are dangerous and I assume you don't get them when you buy the things.

I have juiced them and consumed the juice.... I did not die or go mad from hallucinating.. depends maybe on your genetics whether you have an hypersensitivity
