How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Eggplant
- You should choose eggplants that have smooth skin, bright and even color, with fresh stems that are firmly attached to the fruit.
- Choose those that feel firm in hand, not soft or mushy. When you gently press your finger into the skin of the eggplant, if it leaves an imprint, it means the eggplant is ripe.
- Avoid selecting eggplants with wrinkled skin or many dark spots on the skin. If the skin color is light pink or pale purple, and the skin is slightly hard, you should not buy it as it indicates that the fruit is overripe.
