"There is a lot of disagreement over whether or not the leaves or fruit
of this plant are poisonous. Views vary from relatively poisonous to
perfectly safe to eat. The plant is cultivated as a food crop, both for
its fruit and its leaves, in some parts of the world and it is probably
true to say that toxicity can vary considerably according to where the
plant is grown and the cultivar that is being grown[4, 7, 10, 13, 65,
76]. The unripe fruit contains the highest concentration of toxins[65]."
