    Same story for the potato, tomato’s close relative, where every single part of the potato plant, including the tomato like fruit, is poison, except the tuber.

    The tuber can be poisonous, too! It contains solanine, the level variies based on variety, how it’s stored and whether it’s peeled.

      Raw potatoes are generally poisonous. But luckily, the really poisonous stuff (after exposure to sun) is green-blue, visible.
