What is a nightshade? Why do we consider them different to other fruit/vegetables?

I often hear about people avoiding nightshades in various diets, but I’m unsure why. I also can’t seem to piece together what they have in common, or why that might be important.

Nightshades contain solanine and that is thought to increase inflammation. The data for this is not consistent. Some patients do notice the difference in their arthritis pain.
