    be found, and label it as well.

    2. The Solanaceae (Solanazeo) family includes a wide variety of plants


    that humans use. Some examples of these are petunias and
    mandrakes (mandragorak). Can you give four more examples?

    3. Why shouldn’t you eat green potatoes? What could happen if you
    eat one or two? How about if you eat many?

    4. Capsaicin is the substance responsible for the spiciness in bell and


    chili peppers. Ginger and black pepper are also spicy. Do they also
    have capsaicin?
