About:
Eggplant is a plant species in the nightshade family Solanaceae grown for its often purple edible fruit. Although eggplant is the common name in many countries, in British English, it is called aubergine, and in South Asia and South Africa, brinjal.

Storage & Uses:
Store whole fresh eggplant at room temperature. Keep it away from melons, bananas, and other ethylene producers in a bowl or basket on the countertop — out of direct sunlight. Eggplant is best cooked within three days of purchasing. If your market sells shrink-wrapped specimens, unwrap your eggplant as soon as you get it home.
