I answered this on your second question but thought you might find this interesting to read...The nightshade family of foods do indeed have a potential toxin. This is mother nature’s way of protecting themselves from insect damage. The toxin is found in the green part of these vegetables. Proper choosing and storage can cut down these risks.
Potatoes should always be stored in a dark cool place and kept away from light. To be safe, any green part on the potato, including any growths, should be cut away before using. Don’t ever eat green potatoes , they contain the toxin solanine. Potatoes may turn green when exposed to light and you’ll see a green skin. Never eat the leaves or stems from a potato either.
Green Tomatoes have this toxin, glycoalkaloids. These toxins cause them to have a bitter taste to be unappealing for consumption. Although a delicious southern food (fried green Tomatoes), we should not consume green Tomatoes. And never eat the leaves or stems of Tomatoes.
Eggplant and Peppers should be ripe to avoid the toxin. That means no green Peppers and no green Eggplant. Green Peppers, though common, are actually just immature. When allowed to ripen they will turn a glorious red or yellow or orange or even purple. Green Peppers have a distinctive and strong flavor, not at all like the mature fruit which is sweet. There is, however, a variety of green pepper that is ripe when green. This is not the variety commonly found. The ones you find in most restaurants and grocery stores are red bells that are harvested at the unripe green stage.

You can look this up, but, I believe tomato plants are one...women used to kill their husbands with poison plants.
