A Little Poisonous
“What do tomatoes, peppers,
petunias and tobacco have in
common?”
The answer is that they’re all
related, all members of the
Solanum plant family, more
popularly known as nightshades.
While many of these plants
thrive in tropical or sub-fropical
regions, enough of the 1,200
nightshade species grow
worldwide to make the family as
a whole of enormous importance
for food and medicine.
A good vegetarian meal could
be made from nightshade family
members, including white
potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes and
peppers. On the table there could
be a centerpiece of petunias,
browallia and salpiglossis. An
after-dinner cigar could be
prepared from tobacco, another
relative.
The formal botanical family
name, Solanum, was the word
used by Latin speakers for the
nightshade plant, perhaps deriv
ed from the term for “quieting,”
referring to the narcotic qualities
of some of the family members.
They also contributed medicinal
drugs made from the mandrake
and from belladonna, extracts or
derivatives of which are still
employed in medicine.
The name belladonna came
from the plant’s dangerous
cosmetic use in dilating the
pupils of the eyes to produce,
literally in Italian, “beautiful
ladies.”
Other plants of this group are
toxic, including the fruits of the
deadly nightshade and stems and
flowers of the potato; while the
tuber of the potato is, of course,
perfectly safe as food, should the
tuber skin turn green from ex
tensive exposure to light,
thorough peeling is a good prac
tice before using.
