Is the skin of eggplant poisonous?

Online Answer
False, raw eggplants are not poisonous. ... Plants in the nightshade family -- which includes eggplants, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and tomatillos -- contain an alkaloid called solanine, which in very large doses can be poisonous. For the average adult, 400 mg of solanine would be life-threatening.
