I’ve heard about nightshade vegetables but don’t fully understand what they are. Which vegetables are included in this group? Are they harmful or safe?

Nightshade vegetables are plants in the Solanaceae family, including tomatoes, potatoes (not sweet potatoes), eggplants, and peppers. They contain natural compounds called alkaloids. Most people eat them safely, though some individuals avoid them due to sensitivities or inflammation concerns in diets.
