Is brinjal an indian eggplant?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I don't know.

Brinjal is just the Indian name for eggplant (Solanum melongena). Same fruit, different name.

I just learned something interesting, the ancestor to eggplant was called Solanum insanum. That translates to "solanum was mad."
