Potato is one of four species of food crops grown in popularity in the world after rice, corn, and wheat. But its energy value is about 1 part 4 of this food crop species. This may be why people in the country have a habit of using the rice, corn, wheat feel hungry when eating potatoes as a main dish at dinner. It just usually eat as a snack, or as a soup for many many cuisines of the world. Which is not only in the tubers of the potato, but in many other food crops such as cassava (manioc), sweet potatoes, soybeans provide energy value is also lower than that of rice, corn, and wheat. Besides, potato tubers contain toxins.
Especially in those parts turns into blue tubers to sprout, toxicity may be increased by 10 times. Toxins in potatoes cause fatigue, cognitive decline, and language skills. Potatoes adapt to storage conditions is at 4 degrees C. The temperature is higher or lower than the potatoes are done in the light fluctuations are harmful to humans. In the storage conditions in the family potato, potato covered only account for about 3 weeks after harvest. Then they rot, mold, or sprout. Now people eat is harmful to health. Even the potatoes exposed on the ground in the process of planting, was also produced by exposure to toxic substances sunlight, in the growth process. So we only use fresh potato up after about 2 to 3 weeks after harvest. Potatoes is very difficult to preserve. So in some places they marinate toxic pesticides on potato, so it can not germinate. This keeps potato sprout long been over. But it is extremely harmful to human health when using them. Even the botanical pesticide spray on potato plants, which are accumulating in the leaves and stem of the plant parts. There are a number of potato plants will bear fruit, after the flowers are pollinated. In the fruit of poisonous potatoes, and contains up to 300 seeds. And most will die potato plants after flowering. Potato plants are propagated mainly by bulbs and seeds. Tubers of potatoes kept in the best conditions only 12 months, and the seeds of potatoes can keep for several years. Potato crop is not fun and harmless, as the current food crops is considered completely harmless for humans, such as rice, maize, wheat. But its advantages are livable and adaptable to a wide variety of climates. So it is still considered a crop of winter. But the fact is potato growing very strongly in the summer. Its tubers will stop growing at 27.5 degrees Celsius temperature of the soil and potato plants will be turned purple, rot, and die when the temperature drops too low. Potato tubers will grow very strongly in porous soil conditions, adequate water and nutrients. Potato plants originating from the Americas, and is considered to have introduced into Europe during the 16th century, 17 then became popular food plants in the world today. Currently, the Chinese nation has a number of potato production in the world. Followed by India. However, personally I think we should not plant trees west. Because its roots do not provide a lot of energy for humans, but also very difficult to preserve. Besides, it also contains a lot of toxins in the tubers turn blue when germination. While the potatoes boil at temperatures of 170 degrees C can reduce the toxins in potatoes. But people in the world using only a temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius to cooked food! Thus, potatoes are not good with sweet potatoes, cassava, soybean, and far less rice, corn, wheat! To potato crop becomes a really good man. Scientists need to study how quickly security and potato processing immediately after harvest, to minimize hazardous substances can be generated from a potato!
