Nightshade is a family of plants, not an individual plant.
Examples of edible berries in the Nightshade family:
- Tomatoes
- Chillies
- Black Nightshade
- Tomatillos
- Wonderberries
- Ground Cherries
- Eggplants
- Wolfberry/Goji
- Garden Huckleberry
Examples of non-edible berries in the Nightshade family:
- Belladonna/Deadly Nightshade
- Mandrake berries
- Henbane/Stinking Nightshade
A lot of plants in the Nightshade family get erroneously labeled as poisonous due to the fact that many of them contain varying amounts of a toxin called solanine, but there is no real evidence that unconcentrated solanine can poison humans.
For example, all of the poisonous berries I had listed were poisonous not due to solanine; but by other toxins.
