Fun fact

Eggplant, tomatoes, and potatoes are in the solanaceae family. They all contain small amounts of solanine. This is the toxin that turns potatoes green when exposed to sunlight, and is found in raw eggplant. No worries though, it cooks out of eggplant and rarely affects humans in the first place!
