Vegetables: Eggplant

Nutritional Information:
Good source of fiber.

What To Look For:
Skin should be smooth and taut with fresh-looking green cap at the stem end. Should be heavy for its size. Avoid overgrown eggplants that are more than 5 inches in diameter.

Storage, Easy Cooking:
Store at a cool room temperature or in the refrigerator. After a few days, eggplants become unpleasantly bitter. The skins are edible and a good source of nutrition, but they may be peeled if you prefer.

Best Uses:
It's important to cook eggplant thoroughly for good taste and texture. Grilling a half-inch slice takes about 2 minutes, while baking 2 halves takes about 30 minutes. Season with basil, oregano, tomatoes, olives, peppers, and lemon juice.
