Due to the high content of alkaloids, especially in the immature berries, the plant is often categorized as a poisonous plant, however, be ripe berries and the leaves in some parts of the world used as a vegetable.

The range of the species includes all of Europe, large parts of Africa, the Middle East, India, China, Australia, New Zealand and North America. The geographic origins of the species could not yet be accurately determined. It is, however, suggested that these are in the Eurasian space, as one very good adaptation to the conditions in the Mediterranean is. Other possible areas of origin are the Middle East, India and Africa. In North America, Australia and New Zealand, the black nightshade is one of the harmful species.

The locations of the black nightshade are between 0 and 3000 meters above sea level. The species is very well adapted to different environmental conditions, but can not survive long dry periods. Often the plants on roadsides, railway embankments, hedges, to find the edge of agricultural land, water and rubbish dumps and around built up areas.

The plants are not frosttolerant, daytime temperatures 20-30 ° C offer the best growth conditions, growth at temperatures below 15 ° C and 35 ° C limited. The best light conditions for growth are at a photoperiod of 16 hours, the fruit set is significantly limited by shading, while the vegetative growth of the leaves is affected only slightly.

Already in the first century living Roman scholar Pliny the Elder mentions the way in his writings, as many subsequent plant scientists, among them Dioscorides.

A taxonomic study of the first known black nightshade and related species comes from Johann Jacob Dillen, describes four different taxa in 1732. The currently valid botanical first description of the black nightshade was in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus in his “Species Plantarum” in which a total of six varieties under the name of Solanum nigrum were consolidated. In 1974 the institution designated by Linnaeus in his herbarium 248.18 as an entry specimen as the type Lektotypus set. This makes them the subspecies P. nigrum ssp. nigrum belonging, both Lektotypus plant species of nightshade (Solanum), the family of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and the order of Nachtschattenartigen (Solanales).

It was only during the revision of Solanum section Solanum introduced for the 1979 Flora Europaea 3 seem out that in Europe there are two different forms of the species in parallel. The most common form is a subspecies Solanum nigrum ssp. nigrum, the second, less frequently encountered type as Solanum nigrum ssp. classified schultesii.
