After Raising Suspicions About Potentially Toxic Fruit, Alicia Silverstone Says She’s “Alive And Well”

Alicia Silverstone, the talented 47-year-old actress best known for her iconic role in “Clueless,” sent a reassuring message to her worried fans on August 20. 

Following a TikTok video where she was seen consuming a fruit that some followers thought might be toxic, she updated everyone by confirming that she is not only “alive,” but also thriving and in good health.

“Don’t worry … I didn’t swallow ,” Silverstone put the statement to a photo of herself posing while lying on her front.

She shared a clip of herself eating an orange fruit

The former cast member of Clueless provided an update on her health after posting a video of herself enjoying an orange fruit that she had never seen before while taking a stroll through London, England.

In the video she said “I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help,” Silverstone explained in the video as she inspected the seeded fruit, which she plucked from someone’s garden. I just bit into it because it was on the street and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not,”

Then, behind a gate, Silverstone panned the camera to reveal plants bearing the odd fruit.

She continued “It’s definitely not because look at these leaves, Those are the leaves. So what the heck is this? Because when you open it up, it looks like that,”

Silverstone ate another fruit, comparing it to a pepper, and asked if anyone knew what it was, as she thought it was not supposed to be eaten.

Fans commented that the fruit is a Jerusalem cherry

As they expressed their worries in response to the video, viewers remarked that the fruit looked like a Jerusalem cherry.

One follower said “Girl! berries are either great or freaking poisonous! Don’t eat rando bush-things,”

Another wrote “Is Alicia ok??? We need an update!”

The Northern New England Poison Center warns that the Jerusalem cherry is harmful to eat, with small amounts causing stomach discomfort, vomiting, or diarrhea, while larger amounts may cause heart rate issues.

The toxin in Jerusalem cherries is “not life-threatening,” but it is “toxic” since it contains a “poisonous alkaloid,” according to Plantura.
