Need to Know Which Foods Are Nightshade-Based, Quickly?

It's easy to remember that you need to skip tomato and chilli if you're avoiding nightshades. But there are so many spice mixes, sauces and food additives based on nightshades that it's hard to know everything you need to avoid - and it's time consuming to look up ingredients every time you're uncertain.

What's more, friends and family often want to cook for you, but may not know or be able to remember everything you need to avoid.

That's why I've created this handy, single-page list of nightshades

and foods containing nightshades.

This printable list includes dozens of nightshades and
common nightshade-based ingredients.

Put a copy on the fridge, keep one in your wallet, and give them to your family, friends and food service staff. The list makes it quick and easy to check if an ingredient is nightshade-based, and will help you let others know what foods and ingredients you need to avoid.

Does the list include every nightshade?

Nightshades are plants in the Solanaceae family, which includes around 2,500 members. Most are not edible. Also, a lot of the foods you need to avoid if you don't eat nightshades are ingredients in common sauces or spice mixes.

Instead of listing every nightshade plant, this list provides therefore includes the vegetables, spices, dressing, sauces and food additives you're likely to come across.

Although it is possible that you will find something that is nightshade-based that isn't on the list, and if you're uncertain it is still worth a check to see if the ingredient is from a member of the Solanaceae family, which would mean it's a nightshade. However, the list includes dozens of common and less-common nightshade-based items. We believe you'll find it very useful!
