Potatoes
Potatoes are okay but only before they turn green. When a potato becomes green, it is said to contain a poison known as glycoalkaloid. Potatoes develop certain other poisons in them to repel predators. Also, avoid potatoes which have sprouts on them. If you eat such potatoes, they could cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Almonds
Some almonds are bitter. They are poisonous as they might contain cyanide. Many studies claim that over-eating bitter almonds could even result in death.
Cherries
Cherries are okay but not their seeds as they are said to contain hydrogen cyanide. So, eating the seeds may be dangerous.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes aren't poisonous but the stems and leaves do contain glycoalkaloid. So, cut the stems and leaves from the tomatoes before eating them.
Cassava
Cassava also contains cyanide. If it isn't soaked, dried or cooked properly, it may affect your health drastically.
Lima Beans
Lima beans contain cyanide and are not healthy if eaten raw. It is advisable to cook them before eating.
Mushrooms
Not all mushrooms are healthy. Some varieties do contain poisons. Consult a nutritionist if you wish to eat mushrooms.
