Eggplants are a warm season crop in the nightshade family. Plant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, about mid to late April in Zone 8a. Harvest eggplants when their skin is firm and shiny for the best flavor and texture. Eggplants are full of fiber and vitamins B1 and B6.
Try incorporating eggplant into your diet by making baba ganoush.
