                                According to Poison Control, all parts of the common potato plant, except for the properly stored tuber, contain toxic glycoalkaloids. This makes answering the question, 'Are potato greens good for you?', much more complicated than it seems, primarily due to common confusion with the edible leaves of the sweet potato plant.
