Ashwagandha (/ashwaghanda - withania somnifera), tomatillos and cayenne indeed

are all in the nightshade family, however nettles (urtica dioica) aren't.

Weird, but true. So, if you're avoiding nightshades, don't take ashwagandha.

The nettles we know in Europe, like the stinging nettle aren't nightshade.

However, horse nettle/bull nettle which I've not seen in Europe, that aren't

strictly nettles, are nightshade family,

As soon as you see the Latin you can tell.

Lots of nettles (bull nettle, horse nettle...) are nightshades.
