In Soviet times, potatoes were grown in garden plots and stored throughout the winter in boxes in basements and cellars. Today, too, many are doing this, although the volumes have decreased. People prefer to buy potatoes from stores as needed, which saves time and often money.
But some people continue to buy it in large quantities and face a problem. Potatoes begin to sprout over time. The problem lies not so much in the appearance of the sprouts themselves, as in the fact that the vegetable becomes not only not useful, but even harmful. This is due to the fact that the toxic substance solanine accumulates in it.
And the most interesting thing is that this problem can be solved very quickly and easily. This trick was used by people for many decades, so the method is proven and effective.
You need to put apples on a box with potatoes - a couple of them are enough. They release ethylene, which slows down the growth of potato sprouts.
