Observing the shape
Based on the experience of long-time eggplant growers, when shopping, women should buy eggplants that are slightly curved in shape. Slightly curved eggplants are usually naturally grown and developed, with a certain degree of curvature, and the curvature of each eggplant will be different.
On the contrary, straight eggplants with a balanced shape should not be purchased as they are usually out-of-season or injected with chemicals to have a more attractive shape.
Based on color
Fresh eggplants will usually have a deep color, dark purple skin, smooth and bright, with a consistent color when held firmly in the hand.
However, eggplants with faded outer skin, brown spots on the skin, and wrinkled skin are usually not fresh, so women should not buy these eggplants.
Observing the stem
At the stem connecting to the flesh of the eggplant, there will be a white part. The more white part there is, the fresher and softer the eggplant will be, and it will have a sweet taste when eaten.
On the contrary, if there is little or purple color in the white part, it indicates that the eggplant is old, with more seeds inside, and it will not taste good when eaten.
Additionally, when choosing eggplants, women can lightly press the eggplant with their hands. If there are marks when pressed, it indicates that the eggplant is ripe and still fresh. On the other hand, if it feels hard when pressed, it indicates that the eggplant is old and should not be purchased.
