Eggplants are glossy, generous vegetables, and the secret to a good one is picking it at just the right moment.
They are warm-season plants that need heat and sunshine, and they are often grown in greenhouses or under tunnels. The fruit is harvested by hand before it is fully mature, while the skin is shiny and the flesh still firm, because an eggplant left too long on the plant gets hard seeds and a more bitter taste.
Eggplants dislike the cold, so they are kept at a moderate temperature and not for too long, and they are handled carefully to avoid dents and scratches on the skin.
