What are these tiny dots in eggplants (might need to zoom in)? My wife keeps finding these in most of the eggplants she cuts, and is concerned if this is something bad, or just something normal.

    That’s toxic and you shouldn’t eat it! Specifically because it’s eggplant.

      My wife hates eggplant with a passion. I don’t get it.

        She’s correct, because it tastes and chews like carpet padding. And before you say “you’re cooking it wrong”, I’ve had it at restaurants, and cooked it myself several times. Awful stuff.

          I’ve only ever had it as a dish from a “Chinese” restaurant in the mall. They used to make a mush the consistency of mashed sweet potato, and it was very sweet, but eggplant. I could eat buckets of that stuff. I’ve never had it cooked in a way where it wasn’t rendered into a mush.

          Mmmmm.

            She says that’s the most accurate description she’s ever heard.

      Pretty sure eggplants are from the nightshade family for anyone who doesn’t know

      Nightshade family flowers are poisonous

        That’s correct, you’re taunting death when you eat it. It tries to warn you with its disgusting taste and texture.
