]The only test I could find for the farmer to do in the field - for solanine is the bitter taste test . Solanine is very bitter and as far as I know is the only thing that makes potatoes bitter. I would love to find a portable field test kit that would test for solanine . Like I stated some people are not affected by this poison -- and others are very susceptible . My guess would be that people that have eaten potatoes for hundreds of generations have developed an immunity to it == such as natives of south/central America . To say that THEY should all be dead by now is a ridiculous statement -- makes me think you are a potato farmer on your own agenda . I did read some where that solanine was water soluble in a scientific report but I will never find it tonight. If you re read my post I didn't day that eating potatoes was going to kill every body . Read that I said earing stems or leaves is very poisonous and can make you very sick and in extreme cases can kill . The poison is found in the tubers as well in varying amounts and like I said every potato is different depending on how threatened the plant feels by bugs--- such as exposure to the air. In my case and a lot of people that don't realize it it causes crippling arthritic flair ups ---- along with the other night shade plants . Some reading for people that are interested below

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
