Eggplant

Eggplant Description: The eggplant could be a delicate, tropical perennial typically cultivated as a young or delicate annual in temperate climates. It grows forty to one hundred fifty cm (16 to fifty seven in) tall, with large, coarsely lobate leaves that ar ten to twenty cm (4–8 in) long and five to ten cm (2–4 in) broad. Semiwild sorts will grow a lot of larger, to 225 cm (7 ft) with massive leaves over thirty cm (12 in) long and fifteen cm (6 in) broad. The stem is usually briery. The flower is white to purple, with a five-lobed gyre and yellow stamens. The oviform shiny purple fruit has white flesh with a meaty texture. The cut surface of the flesh apace turns brown once the fruit is cut open. On wild plants, the fruit is a smaller amount than three cm (1.2 in) in diameter, however greatly larger in cultivated forms, soft seeds that, tho\' edible, style bitter as a result of, as a relative of tobacco, they contain nicotinoid alkaloids.
