    A raw potato is not poisonous

    However, if a potato is exposed to light, it takes on a green coloration - which in itself is poisonous in large quantities. You want to make sure the taters are stored out of direct sunlight in a cool place.

    Yes you can eat a raw potato. It may ot taste very good but thats your choice. I have eaten one before (not a whole one) and i am still living. So yes you eat that raw potato of yours.

    I hope its not poisonous, I ate thousands of raw potatoes as a child. No, of course they're not poisonous.

    Cut them in strips, and try adding a little salt. They're very addicting.

    It is not poisonous, however, being raw it's very hard for a human body to diagest (kinda like grass and leafs)

    I wouldn't eat much if I were you...
