EGGPLANT
With its gorgeous aubergine hue, sweet, slightly bitter flavor and endless possibilities for preparation, eggplant is one of our favorite vegetables to cook with. Technically a fruit, it comes in a range of shapes and colors, including graffiti eggplant (white and purple striped), smaller Italian eggplant, and white eggplant. Globe eggplants are, however, the largest and most common. Roasted or grilled, sliced or pureed, eggplant can be incorporated into many delicious recipes.
