Is it normal to eat raw potatoes?
Unusual.Less common, but harmless
It’s not especially common, but having a little raw potato isn’t usually a big deal. Raw potatoes can be hard on your stomach, and green or heavily sprouted ones should be avoided.
Some people like the crunchy, starchy taste, even though potatoes are usually eaten cooked. A small bite of a fresh, non-green potato is generally harmless, but raw potato can be hard to digest and may leave you with gas or an upset stomach.
Skip potatoes that are green or heavily sprouted; they can contain higher levels of natural toxins. If you find yourself craving raw potatoes often or eating a lot of them, it’s worth mentioning to a healthcare professional.
