Japanese eggplant has a long, slightly bulbous shape and its shiny, waxed skin will range from dark purple to almost black. The firm, creamy white flesh will have pale white to light brown seeds. It’s an excellent alternative to potato or plantain chips as a vegetarian option. This vegetable is also very popular in Asian and Hindu cuisines. Japanese eggplants can exhibit minor limb and leaf rub and minor scuffing and scarring.
