    The nightshade family, with members like potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, have figured prominently not only in human nutrition, but also in the history of New England and the world. At the same time, poisonous relatives like tobacco, mandrake, henbane, and belladonna have contributed to the family's more sinister reputation. Join us for a deeper look at both sides of the family line.
