I didn't know one could eat Solanums. I was always under the impression that nightshade (and the foliage of most members of the Solanaceae family) were just about all poisonous to some extent. From Wikipedia: "The species most commonly called nightshade in North America and Britain is Solanum dulcamara, also called bittersweet or woody nightshade. Its foliage and egg-shaped red berries are poisonous, the active principle being solanine, which can cause convulsions and death if taken in large doses. The black nightshade (S. nigrum) is also generally considered poisonous, but its fully ripened fruit and foliage are cooked and eaten in some areas." This family also contains a fair amount of psychoactive members most of which are also poisonous at the right dose. (Tobacco and Jimson Weed for instance and in fact some Solanums...http://sarahannelawless.com/2010/05/10/solanum/ http://sarahannelawless.com/2010/05/10/solanum/ ). But.. there is nightshade, for sale in the market in the picture. My world view on Solanums has been shattered.
