Is this Yaki imo safe to eat? Cooked it yesterday and put it in the fridge overnight but it’s changed colours and looks green

1. Yeah it’s fine 👍

2. It’s probably safe but it sure is scary looking 👀

3. Don’t eat it. Give it to me instead.

4. It’s just oxidation, similar to how apples or avocados turn brown after being sliced open. Should be fine!

5. Ours looks just like that. Safe and delicious to eat.

6. Potatoes interact with oxygen and turn color. It’s fine.

7. Yes

8. So your never ment to leave anything in tint foil ovee night. It oxidizes and seeps into the food since it is made of tin. Its not unsafe but it might cuase stomach issues. You could tey cutting off the outside and seeing if the inside is okay

9. It is reacting with the foil as it oxidized, which is what turns it green. Sweet potatoes do the same thing.

10. There is a slight possibility of issues. They are meant to be eaten after being cooked. My local yaki imo guy conveyed this info to me. Donki also had it in their imo packaging.

11. Looks like an avocado
