What it is

Organic eggplant is a variety of eggplant grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Eggplants are fruits in the nightshade family, native to the Indian subcontinent. They are typically harvested when mature and can be used fresh or processed.

Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers whole, unprocessed foods like eggplant to be safe for consumption. There are no widespread health controversies associated with typical consumption of eggplant.
