Eggplant

Eggplant (aubergine) is the edible, globe-shaped fruit of the nightshade family with glossy purple skin, spongy flesh, and a mild, slightly bitter flavor. Commonly roasted, grilled, baked, fried, or stewed and used in dishes like ratatouille, moussaka, and baba ghanoush, it’s tracked to log portion sizes, recipe ingredients, and nutrient intake for accurate meal records and dietary planning.
