I'm not sure if this is true or not but I think that it turns green from it being in the light or in the sun. for example if your making mashed potatoes and you put your potatoes on the window sill and there is TONS of light and you leave it there for five hours cuz you forgot and you saw it and it's green than that's probally cuz of too much LIGHT NOT DARK. I hope it's right.
