How to Replace Nightshades in Cooking

[ysabetwordsmith]

These substitutes are useful whether you can't eat these vegetables at all, need to limit quantities, dislike them, or simply ran out. 
* Eggplants
* Peppers
* Potatoes
* Tomatoes

Goji berries are also nightshades, but they don't appear in many foods.  That makes it easier to substitute them.
* Amla (green mango) or Indian gooseberry
* Other berries

It can be quite challenging, because they've spread all over the world and gotten into most cuisines. However, they're all from the Americas. Most places didn't have them until the last few centuries. So one approach is simply looking at older recipes from other cultures.

I find it interesting to look at lists of alternatives, because even if you can eat a thing, it might not always be available. Besides, trying different flavors is interesting.
