Eggplant- Nature’s Weirdo
Oh, who doesn’t love this weirdo? Did you know eggplants are not only actually fruit, but also botanically classified as a berry? A BERRY! That’s a big berry. It is best to keep eggplants out of the fridge, and away from direct sunlight. Just like most fruits, eggplants are best at room temperature.
If you have less immediate plans for your eggplants – keep them in the crisper of your refrigerator for increased longevity/freshness. Always remember that eggplants are sensitive to ethylene gases produced by fruits like bananas, tomatoes, and melons. Eggplants should never cross paths with these fruits, like ever.
