EGGPLANT: THE BASICS
Outside North America, eggplant are also called Aubergine [pronounced OH-ber-zheen or oh-ber-ZHEEN].

Eggplants are not vegetables, but fruits, specifically berries. The skins of young eggplants are both delicate and edible; older eggplants or eggplants with tough skins may be peeled. Since the flesh discolors rapidly, an eggplant should be cut just before using. Globe eggplant are large, purple cylinders. Italian eggplant or baby eggplant are smaller versions of globe eggplant with more tender skin and flesh. Japanese eggplant, or Asian eggplant are long and narrow.
