Store eggplant in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight if you plan to use it soon; refrigerate it in the crisper drawer for short-term storage. Prolonged exposure to cold can soften its texture, so use it while the skin is still firm and glossy.
Yes, but blanch or cook eggplant before freezing for a better texture. Slice it, briefly blanch or roast it, cool it completely, and freeze in portions. Freezing it raw can leave it watery and soft when thawed.
No, salting eggplant is not essential with most modern varieties. It can draw out moisture and season the slices, and may help if your eggplant tastes bitter. Pat the pieces dry afterward so they brown instead of steam.
Yes, eggplant can be eaten raw, but it is usually cooked because raw flesh can taste bitter and feel firm. Wash it well, slice it thinly, and avoid any piece that tastes unusually bitter or appears spoiled.
Yes, eggplant skin is edible and usually softens during cooking, so there is no need to peel a fresh, tender eggplant. You may want to remove the skin from heavily charred eggplant because burnt peel can taste bitter.
To limit oil absorption, dry the eggplant and cook it in a hot pan with only a small amount of oil, or roast it instead. Avoid leaving slices sitting in oil; eggplant’s porous flesh soaks it up quickly.
Choose an eggplant with smooth, glossy, unwrinkled skin and a green-looking stem. It should feel firm and heavy for its size, without soft spots. A dull, shrivelled surface or a brown, dried stem can indicate that it is past its best.
Cut eggplant browns when its flesh reacts with air. Cook it soon after slicing, or keep the pieces in water with a little lemon juice until you are ready to use them; drain and dry them before cooking.
For evenly roasted eggplant, cut it into similarly sized pieces, lightly coat them with oil, and spread them in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast until the flesh is tender and the edges are browned, turning the pieces once if needed.
Yes, eggplant and aubergine are two names for the same vegetable. “Eggplant” is more common in American English, while “aubergine” is widely used in British English; the vegetable and its culinary uses are the same.

Patlağı is listed under this name, but the vegetable described is eggplant, also called aubergine: a glossy, purple-skinned vegetable with tender flesh. It is widely used in Turkish home cooking, from olive-oil dishes and stews to stuffed eggplant and smoky dips made with the flesh of grilled vegetables.
Its flavour is mild and its texture turns soft and creamy when cooked; charring brings out a deeper, smoky taste. Serve it as a side, in a mezze spread, or as the centre of a meat-free meal. At 25 calories and 3 g of fibre per 100 g, it is a light, fibre-containing choice. Roasting or grilling with a modest amount of oil keeps it lighter, and it pairs well with tomato, garlic and yoghurt.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
