SELECT From deep purple to white, long<br />
or short, oblong or round, there are many<br />
varieties. Choose an eggplant that is heavy<br />
for its size and with firm, smooth skin.<br />

<strong>ca</strong>n become bitter within a few days. Store<br />
in a cool, dry place or in the crisper.<br />
ENJOY To avoid discoloration, cut<br />
eggplant just before you’re ready to use it.<br />
If it’s overripe and soft, sprinkle with a little<br />
salt and let it sit for 20 minutes to draw<br />
out the bitter juices, then rinse and pat dry.<br />
Eggplant is delicious baked, sautéed or added<br />
to a stir-fry.<br />
