Exposure to light – Stimulates growth and speeds up sprouting.
High humidity – Encourages sprout development.
Warm temperatures – Speeds up the aging process.
Ethylene gas – Released by other produce like onions and apples, triggering sprouting.

2. The Best Trick to Stop Potatoes from Sprouting
The Secret? Store Potatoes with an Apple!
Apples release ethylene gas, which inhibits sprouting in potatoes.
This slows down the aging process, keeping potatoes firm and fresh for weeks.
Works best when potatoes are stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.
How to Do It:
Place 1 fresh apple in a paper bag, basket, or potato storage bin.
Add your potatoes and store them in a cool, dark place.
Check every few weeks—replace the apple when it becomes soft.
Tip: This method can extend potato freshness by 4-6 weeks!
