(Poster wants to note they haven't seen Phantom planet and is going based off Google and tumblr, as well as being a mostly beginner in the dcu area of things and is again going off Google and Tumblr)

Commonly seen in some fics and here on tumbler is the fact Danny eats kryptonite.

I believe this is a large concept due to the fact that I commonly see people call things tasty looking (rocks, glass, that kind of stuff) and also relating the how it came to be, as krypton was blown up and contains residual death energy/high amount of emotions—or it's some hardened ecto that tastes good.

Now onto my personal idea!

Ectoranium is 'sprouted-kryptonite'.

Okay, so potatoes are safe to eat in a general sense, but you can't eat sprouted potatoes due to an increase of glycoalkaloids (which can cause glycoalkaloid posinging due to the glycoalkaloid's increased presence in the stems/sprouts of the potato which can usally cause nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and a burning sensation in the throat.)-so it won't be eaten by animals so it can grow more potatoes.

Now what I'm trying to compare this to is that the kryptonite is producing a type of chemical that inhibits the ghosts from eating it so it may grow more kryptonite.

The fact it was in the Ghost zone would be like taking a potato out of a fridge, and it was taken out of the fridge and left for too long and, 'oh! The potato has sprouted wr can no longer eat that' and someone gets the idea to plant it to get more potatoes from the sprouted potato.

There seems to be a split kind of thing where kryptonite is radioactive to the general public(?) But from what I can tell in the older comics it just effects kryptonians from what my father says.
