The term "king of vegetables" refers to potatoes. Any veggie may be combined with them to create a delectable meal. Fake potatoes, however, have begun to show up in stores.
Adulteration of potatoes has started in order to increase profits.
To make spoiled potatoes look fresh, they are chemically treated. Be careful if you are eating such tainted potatoes because they can lead to a number of health problems. Here's how you tell the difference between real and phony potatoes.
Ways to Identify Real and Fake Potatoes
Cut the Potato:
Real potatoes have a consistent color inside and outside, while fake potatoes often have a different color inside.
Check the Soil:
The soil on real potatoes requires thorough scrubbing to clean. In contrast, the soil on fake potatoes dissolves easily in water.
Smell Test:
Real potatoes have a natural earthy aroma. Fake potatoes, on the other hand, have a chemical-like smell and can leave a color residue on your hands.
Water Test:
Real potatoes sink in water, whereas fake potatoes might float due to the presence of chemicals.
Diseases Resulting from Fake Potatoes:
Fake potatoes are extremely detrimental to one's health. They can harm the eyes, nose, ears, liver, intestines, and kidneys. Constipation, lack of appetite, and stomach discomfort are some possible problems.
