Scientifically known as *Solanum torvum*, turkey berries are a pea-sized fruit with a multitude of regional aliases. This small green berry, a member of the nightshade family, is prized for its culinary versatility and historical use in traditional medicine across tropical regions. Its diverse array of alternative names often reflects the local culture and the plant's appearance.

Scientific research confirms that like other nightshades, turkey berries contain compounds called glycoalkaloids, which can be toxic if consumed improperly or in large amounts. The good news is that when handled correctly, you can eat turkey berries safely as part of many culinary dishes.
