Eggplant
Eggplant - This is a spongy, mild-tasting vegetable that's meaty yet low in calories. It's never eaten raw, but it can be baked, grilled, or sautéed.

Japanese Eggplant - Like other Asian eggplants, Japanese eggplants have thin skins, and a sweet, delicate flavor.

Chinese Eggplant - Compared to the familiar American eggplant, Chinese eggplants have thinner skins, a more delicate flavor, and not as many of the seeds that tend to make eggplants bitter.
