Eggplant comes in myriad sizes, shapes and colors. The most commonly available is the globe eggplant, which is large and pear shaped with thin purple-black skin. Asian eggplant, usually smaller and more slender, can be deep purple, lavender or white. Look for specimens that feel firm and heavy for their size, have smooth, shiny skin and are free of bruises.
