Question: 1 / 400

The Solanaceae (nightshade) food family includes which of the following groups of foods?

Carrots, beets, and turnips

Squash, melons, and cucumbers

Tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers

The Solanaceae food family is known as the nightshade family. This includes fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers. These plants are often characterized by their bright colors and are typically used to add flavor to dishes. While options A, B, and D may also contain bright-colored fruits and vegetables, they do not belong to the nightshade family and therefore are not included in the correct answer. Carrots, beets, and turnips belong to the Apiaceae (carrot) family, squash, melons, and cucumbers belong to the Cucurbitaceae (gourd) family, and zucchini, eggplant, and radishes belong to the Brassicaceae (mustard) family. While all of these options may be considered nutritious choices, they do not fall within the specific Solanaceae family mentioned in the question.
