Tomato toxic when it green, but delicious when it red. Creeping nightshade toxic when it green, but has anyone even tried it when it red? Probably delicious.

Since when are green tomatoes toxic? I eat fried green tomatoes every summer...

From just some cursory googling it looks like they are toxic when raw, but frying them neutralizes the toxicity. That's probably why you've never noticed!

Oh, I'm.... I'm so sorry.

Potatoes fall into this category too of both delicious and nightshade fun. So tastes great like anti freeze but it takes a lot longer to finally get you.
