I created this tomato free ketchup for a client with a nightshade allergy. Nightshades are a family of plants that come from the capsicum and solanum families. Typical nightshade vegetables are tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and eggplant. Nightshade plants contain a poisonous substance called solanine. The fruit and vegetable of the plant are safe to eat. However, those with allergies to nightshades or certain nightshade fruits and vegetables must avoid them in their daily diet.
