The nightshade with the white flowers has edible berries, if that helps any. The berries taste like tomatoes with a hint of blueberry.

Nightshades with colored flowers are the poisonous ones. Unfortunately, they get lumped together a lot. Even some botanical texts mix them up.

I should have said the WILD nightshades with the colored flowers. There are domesticated members of the nightshade family that don't follow that rule.

Interesting...but as a child my mom scared us so much that I would never try either...even as an adult.
