Question: Can you tell me what to look for when I buy an eggplant to cook for my family!?
Answers:
Yes!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Eggplant colors range from white to lavender to dark purplish-black as well as pale green, yellow, and reddish!. There are even some striped varieties!. Various eggplant varieties may be used interchangably in most recipes, unless the skin color is a specific visual factor in the dish!. Although available year-round, prime time for eggplant is August and September in the United States!. Look for eggplants with smooth, shiny skin, heavy for their size, and having no blemishes, tan patches, or bruises!. Wrinkled, loose skin is an indication of age, and the fruit will be more bitter!. Smaller eggplants have fewer seeds, thinner skin, and tend to be sweeter, more tender, and less bitter!. Press your finger lightly against the skin!. If it leaves a light imprint, it is ripe!. If it is too soft, it is too old and will be bitter!. Looking for less seeds!? Check the blossom end of the fruit!. A larger scar generally means fewer seeds!.
