Well, solanines [alkaloid glycosides found there] could do that to you. Do not overindulge.

Not hard advice for me to follow. I eat a few here and there, just because I know they do have a lot of nutritional value, but it's sure not something I crave.

Here in Seattle we have tons of Black Nightshade (Solanum Nigrum), which is reputed to be poisonous.But I have eaten the ripe berries before with no problem, although it is said they can be quite bad for children, or if eaten when not ripe.
