    Tomato leaves contain traces of solanine and lycopene. If you eat too much at once, it will make your stomach uncomfortable. But don't worry too much, at least one pound (a little more than 9 two) of tomato leaves will be fatal. In addition, immature green tomatoes also contain lycopene, if people ingest a large amount in a short time, they may also appear poisoning symptoms.
