The name eggplant is usual in North American English and Australian English. First recorded in 1763, the word "eggplant" was originally applied to white cultivars, which look very much like hen's eggs (see image). [29] [30] [31] Similar names are widespread in other languages, such as the Icelandic term eggaldin or the Welsh planhigyn ŵy.
A European eggplant (aubergine) Eggplant is a dark purple [1] or brownish-purple [2] color that resembles the color of the outer skin of European eggplants. [3] Another name for the color eggplant is aubergine [2] (the French, German and British English word for eggplant). The first recorded use of eggplant as a color name in English was in ...
Solanum torvum, also known as pendejera, turkey berry, devil's fig, pea eggplant, platebrush or susumber, [2] is a bushy, erect and spiny perennial plant used horticulturally as a rootstock for eggplant. Grafted plants are very vigorous and tolerate diseases affecting the root system, thus allowing the crop to continue for a second year.
Cut 4-5 slits along the top to along steam to come out. To get a nice, golden brown and crisp crust, coat the outside in an egg wash (using one beaten egg and a splash of water). Bake for about 15 ...

“Eggplant can be frozen if it is cooked first,” he says. “I would recommend that you slice the eggplant into thin slices and bake it in the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes.
The plumule is the part of a seed embryo that develops into the shoot bearing the first true leaves of a plant. In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure. Growth of the plumule does not occur until the cotyledons have grown above ground. This is epigeal germination.
Normally, the cotyledon itself contains very few nutrients in plants that show this kind of germination. Instead, the first leaflets are already folded up inside it, and photosynthesis starts to take place in it rather quickly. [1] Because the cotyledon is positioned above the ground it is much more vulnerable to damage like night-frost [2] or ...
