Macro cooking uses all natural simple seasonings like organic sea salt and sesame seeds for example. Peppers, tomatos, eggplant, potatoes, and other nightshade vegetables are generally not recommend b/c they cause the blood to become acidic and generally throw your body off of balance. If you have just started investigating Macrobiotics, you probably have come across the ideas of Yin and Yang and creating a good balance of each in your diet and overall life.

On this topic I have also read that these vegetables are slightly "toxic" (although I am not sure what that means exactly!) and some of them contain nicotine in the leaves.

Hope this helps!
