Same goes for if it looks like a Tomato, those are nightshades and the only ones I know about that aren’t deadly to eat are tomatoes and peppers, and the peppers only because the poison they developed doesn’t kill you it just makes you feel like your entire digestive tract is on fire.

Eggplants, potatoes, ground cherries, tomatillos, huckleberries are all edible too. That said you are right, if it is growing in the wild assume it will kill you. Don’t eat it.

Huckleberry varieties are all Nightshades? Does that mean blueberries are Nightshades?
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Huckleberries and blueberries are not related closely at all. Huckleberries are in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Blueberries are in the blueberry family, Ericacaea. Their morphologies, or growth forms, are very very different.

Potatoes, believe it or not, are also nightshades.

Actually I’m pretty sure those can poison you if you don’t grab them at the right time

Yes, and also it can be poisonous later down the line after harvested

The berries of potatoes are poisonous, just the tubers aren’t unless exposed to sunlight.

When a whole family dies because of bad air in a cellar, isn’t it usually potatoes that caused it?
