November 2021 UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that okra is actually not an nightshade vegetable. Okra is in the Malvaceae family of plants, not Solanaceae. Thank you to Jannelle J for that well-needed correction!
A big thank you for this video, I am spanish and tomato and peppers are a basic ingredient for 95% of all dishes. I will give your recipe a try. I was just not making the recipe with the nightshade and the taste wasn’t the same.
For salsa verde, this is what I do. Raw and charred red onion, yellow onion, garlic, and radish. Once the vegetables are charred, I add all that and avocado (optional but delicious), a TON of cilantro, and lots of lime juice. Charring the veggies help add an umami flavor that is missing from no tomatoes, and the raw onions and raw garlic add a "spice" to it. I've brought it to family gatherings and everyone loves it! No one knows theres no tomatoes! My mom who has always been actually allergic to tomatoes likes it too!
Fantastic! I make mango, radish, purple onion salsa with salt and pepper and a dash of garlic. Love the taco spice mix! Couldn’t find one I’ve liked so far and will give your mix a try! I also want to share that lime juice/rind helps a lot too… I do understand that some people may be sensitive to citrus with histamine intolerance, so throwing it out there for those who aren’t sensitive.
U better make those beans mushy first with the food processor or use garbanzo too. Make a paste of it and apply and everything else will stick to it in your taco and won't fall. Use trumpet mushrooms 🍄 😋. They're delicious
Thank you for your cucumber salsa recipe. I would like to try it sometime. I have been nightshade free for a while now, but I haven't been too successful with salsa subs.
Hi! Just came across the idea to substitute tart cherries for tomatoes; forget cranberries. I am searching for tart cherries, either frozen or dried. If the dried can only be found sweetened, I will rinse.
I am not entirely sure what my symptoms are since I have a bunch of food sensitivities, but I am pretty sure nightshades contribute to my acne and joint pain problems. Thanks for your question! :)
My symptoms are pain all over the body. Watermelon is a burping feast and nightshades specially eggplant and artichoke will make you feel like you had food poisoning. Not fun.
Actually, I tried making an enchilada sauce (using a similar veggie combo), adding cumin, marjoram, garlic, white pepper, oregano, a touch of cardamom and cocoa and liguid smoke. It turned out pretty good! The white pepper was the key to giving it spice without tasting like black pepper. Totally surprised me.😊
Black pepper is not a nightshade, so if you are just removing nightshades from your diet - you can still consume it. However, if you are following the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) Diet - which eliminates nightshades along with a host of other foods - then black pepper is not allowed. I hope that helps! :)
@@kimberlyreitsma yes, please indicate that in your other correction….as your video comes up in an aip search. Thanks for prompt response. Costco wild salmon boxed and beef come with black, etc pepper. Alternative spice list would be helpful to many, also nomato recipes.
Unfortunately, I have no control over the search algorithm. This video just contains nightshade-free diet content, not full-blown AIP. Thank you for the suggestions though!
no onions(garlic and their likes) are from the same plant family as lilies. Nightshades have no bulbs, and with the exception of potatos, it is the fruit that is eaten. the taxonimic name for nightshade is solanum if you want to look it up. Peppers, tomatos, tomatillos, physalis, eggplants, potatos, those are the most commenly encountered ones
I just doubled checked my research and you are correct. Okra is in the Malvaceae family of plants, not Solanaceae. Totally my mistake. Thanks for commenting! However, okra does contain solanine, the toxic alkaloid found in nightshades. Perhaps that it is why it makes it onto some lists of nightshade vegetables.

Yay! I get okra back!!!

That sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing, Isabel! :)
What is your method for charring your veggies?
Fantastic! I make mango, radish, purple onion salsa with salt and pepper and a dash of garlic. Love the taco spice mix! Couldn’t find one I’ve liked so far and will give your mix a try!

These look great! I’m wildly allergic to nightshade vegetables, and I am going to try your salsa recipe.
Thanks Kimberly

I tried nomato sauce from Amazon.
This was very useful! Thank you a lot and a happy new year!

Thank youuu!!!
Kiwi is good on top of black bean tacos
Do you have a cookbook?
Nope. I am not that awesome! Haha!
Thanks for the video 🙏
What are your symptoms eating Night shades?
I am not entirely sure what my symptoms are since I have a bunch of food sensitivities, but I am pretty sure nightshades contribute to my acne and joint pain problems. Thanks for your question! :)

How about white pepper?
Both black pepper and white pepper are not nightshades. They can be used interchangeably - white pepper is just less potent in my opinion. :)

Very nice! That sounds absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing! :)
Be careful when it comes to mustard because yellow prepared mustard contains paprika which is a nightshade.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! :)
Cheap wasabi can be doctored with pepper based spices as well. I avoid it when possible.
@@DrTurtleBeegood to know. Thanks!! Have to be so careful because they hide nightshades in all kinds of things these days.😱🥺
I have never read in two weeks that BLACK pepper is allowed!

Is onion powder not nightshade ?

@@kimberlyreitsma thanks for your inspiring ideas
@@kimberlyreitsma now thats interesting, that they do contain solanine
