Tag me in your videos with #canieatthis to be featured!

Make sure to watch the whole video with this one so you’ll 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 didn’t 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 doesn’t have many bug holes in it when the fruit is mature.

Another thing I didn’t have enough time to say is that if you try to eat black nightshade a little on the underripe side, you’ll likely experience an acrid reaction, letting you know they aren’t 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 Forager’s Calendar (link in bio)

Pioneers and early settlers really liked these things and took seeds with them wherever they went. The idea being you get fruit in a single season, unlike trees and most bushes which can take years to fruit.

I’ve foraged this before. I personally don’t really like tomatoes, so I don’t really like black nightshade. When describing the taste to others, I usually say, “imagine 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, that’s black nightshade for you”

Someone sold me one of these in a pot claiming it was a huckleberry start 😅 I was sad once it grew berries but it was fun to try them. The plant only lasted the one season, though. So cool to figure out what the plant was thanks to your video

Love these. To my palate they're like if a blueberry and tomato had a baby.

I actually had a black nightshade pop up in one of my indoor flowerpots, no idea how it got there, beautiful little flowers and fruits. I didn't try them but it was really cool that they just appeared seemingly out of thin air like that.

The leaves are widely used in India as accompaniment for rice. It's highly nutritious and effective in treating ulcers

Quite sweet

Hornworms love these. I lucked out with them growing near my tomatoes, and they tuck the burnt of the caterpillars.

These grow as weeds in my garden (Yorkshire, UK) and pots, and if you don’t 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 weren’t gonna go red, but black 😊

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 it’s beautiful once it’s 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

Thank you for this info. We have some growing in a pot where we had jalapeno plants. Now we know we can keep caring for our new unexpected plant and have a treat for the kids and I

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.

My family forage these n eat the plant. Its bitter for those who likes bitter vege. Other than that we rub the leaves on our skin when you get bitten by a mosquitos. It does work, calming the swell.

I wait until the berries are not only solid black, but also when they are glossy too. I don't eat the greens, but the young greens are also eaten as well by some.
