Iâve foraged this before. I personally donât really like tomatoes, so I donât really like black nightshade. When describing the taste to others, I usually say, âimagine if a tomato and a grape had a one night stand, but the grape was emotionally absent and the tomato won custody of the kid, thatâs black nightshade for youâ

These grow as weeds in my garden (Yorkshire, UK) and pots, and if you donât pull them up quickly they can be hard to get out of the ground. I knew they were a nightshade because of the flowers, but thought they might be a cherry tomato at first, as the berries were so big. Looked them up, discovered that they werenât gonna go red, but black đ
Birds here absolutely love these fruits, and the plant is commonly spread by birds depositing the seeds all over. The plant grows surprisingly large here, and itâs beautiful once itâs established. The berries taste amazing! Very happy discovery that my mystery weed was a delicious fruit! The fruits here are quite a bit bigger than the ones you found, though. Not quite cherry tomato sized, but not far off. Definitely bigger than blueberries

According to Wikipedia, solanine levels in ripe berries of this plant are rarely fatal (but green berries are poisonous), with almost all varieties being edible. So, just hope that not one of the varieties where you live will kill you.
Solanine is an easy poison to identify, since it tastes very bitter even in concentrations that only gives you fever and indigestion (if you ever eaten a raw green potato, you know how it taste). But maybe not make jam or something that can mask the taste of the berries.
This is a wild plant, not a cultivar, so individual plants differ in characteristics. If you want to play it safe, don't eat plants not traditionally eaten in your area that are related to poisonous plants.
I live near an area where the very local variety of wild carrot gives you diarrhea. Generally, wild carrots are considered very safe to eat, and I've only heard of this local variety being (slightly) poisonous. But that's the thing with wild plants, varieties can differ in taste and edibility, even when collected at the same spot. This very local wild carrot variety also tastes horrible, and the sap from the root makes your skin and lips itchy, so I don't really understand why someone would not spit it out immediately, but I heard tales of military survival instructors getting diarrhoea, together with soldiers instructed to eat the plant.
There are more poisons present in belladonna (deadly nightshade) than just solanine and it is considered one of the most poisonous plants in the world. Despite this, it has since antiquity, until at least the 19th century, been used by vain women to dilute their pupils, and make them look more attractive, despite a general knowledge that ingesting extracts of the plant often would kill you, especially if it was a new bottle, from a new batch. On the other hand, people also used to eat arsenic, during the Romantic era, to achieve a trendy pale and sickly look.

Make sure to watch the whole video with this one so youâll see the main distinguishing characteristics between black nightshade (Solanum nigrum group), which is edible when ripe, and the actually not all that similar, deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), which is not edible ever.
Additional details I didnât get to mention in the video would be that deadly nightshade has far shinier fruit, usually grows taller than wide (opposite for black nightshade), and typically doesnât have many bug holes in it when the fruit is mature.
Another thing I didnât have enough time to say is that if you try to eat black nightshade a little on the underripe side, youâll likely experience an acrid reaction, letting you know they arenât quite there yet. They should be completely dark without any hints of green and often the calyxes will be starting to turn brown.
There are more details that you can find to distinguish them along with the timing for finding black nightshade in my Interactive Foragerâs Calendar (link in bio)
