TIP for Choosing The Best Eggplant

March 7, 2013   |   No Comments

Grilled eggplant is one of my favorite dishes.  But I like it even more when its not full of seeds.  Did you know that there are both “male” and “female” eggplants?  When I was a young, I remember my mother talking to her friend about this at the grocery store.  They were comparing the bottoms.  Apparently the male has a small round “hole” shape at the bottom and the female has more of a “slit” at the bottom.  The male eggplants are said to have less seeds.  So as long as I remember, I’ve been choosing the “male” eggplants and I really don’t have a lot of seeds.   Check out the difference in my photo below.  Look how few seeds there are on the slices I’m grilling!
