-{{topic>Nightshades&noheader&user&notags&sortby=date&rsort}}+Scientifically speaking, **Nightshades** are the common name for the **Solanaceae** family, which includes [[:peppers|peppers]], [[:tomatoes|tomatoes]] and [[:tobacco|tobacco]], amongst many other things.

 +The deadly nightshades are grown for several reasons. Some of them just naturally grow wild in various parts of the earth. Others are grown as ornamental plants for their large, beautiful flowers.

 +**While nightshades like [[:tomatoes|tomatoes]] and [[:peppers|peppers]] can be eaten, __//all the nightshades on this page have no culinary value//__. Due to the presence of many lethal compounds in these plants, you should avoid eating them or including them in any sort of dish. The compounds in some of these cultivars are so concentrated, that professional gardeners usually wear gloves when touching them. //__Do not trifle with these plants!!!__//**
