What is Asian Eggplant?
The term “Asian eggplant” is used to refer to a large number of aubergines, or eggplants, which also go by the alternate names of Chinese, Thai, or Japanese eggplant. Asian eggplants tend to come with more variety than those bred in Europe, and range in size, shape, and color quite radically. They are used extensively in Asian cuisine, and can also be used in Western food. As a result of the popularity of Asian eggplant, many grocery stores have one or two varieties available. In areas with large Asian communities, a wide range of Asian eggplants are available.
