  Eggplant Glossary Term
The ball-shaped Thai eggplants range in size from a half inch to several inches in diameter, with an outer flesh that may be colored white, yellow, green, or lavender.
Eggplant is excellent when stuffed with a variety of ingredients, sautéed, broiled, baked, grilled, or slowly cooked in meat, rice, or cheese dishes and stews.
Since some eggplants may be bitter tasting, it has been a common practice to add salt to the cut pieces of the vegetable to help draw the bitter flavor out of the meat and to enhance the flavor.
