Eggplant isone of the most favorite vegetables of me, not my kids and husband.

I usuallytakeit as a stirfrieddish with some soysauce and onions.... this is my favorite item.



Do you know eggplant is actually a fruit ?

Of course, I knew it today through the food dictionary on my favorite internet web site.

Which site ?? it's a secret ^^

Though commonly thought of as a vegetable, eggplant is actually a fruit, specifically a berry ...

It's available year-round, with the peak season during August and September.

Theybecome bitter with age and are very perishable.

They should be stored in a cool, dry place and used within a day or two of purchase.

If longer storage is necessary, place the eggplant in the refrigerator vegetable drawer.

They should be cut just before using...

There are many kinds of eggplants, Japanese or Asian eggplant ( we knew it, narrow and staight with purple color ), Italian or baby eggplant, and egg-shaped white eggplant, etc, etc.

I just like to share this interesting information with you...

Good night ~
