Going through some sites and some research I find out that my nephew is mainly allergic for Nightshade Vegetables! I love the name. But what is in the name is not good for the girls cousin, that was tested by allergy specialists over the years.
What are nightshade vegetables? According to The George Mateljan Foundation, food members of the nightshade family include:
- potatoes (not sweet potatoes)
- tomatoes
- eggplant
- sweet and hot peppers (including paprika, cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce)
- ground cherries
- tomatillos and tamarillos
- garden huckleberry and naranjillas
- pepinos and pimentos
