10 types of eggplant to know and adore.
With the dog days of summer comes a bounty of eggplant. Some are bulbous and deep violet, others slim and lilac, others still bright white or even speckled. This member of the nightshade family is often misunderstood, outshined by tomatoes, and it’s understandable: If not prepared quite right, eggplant can be off-puttingly spongy or unpleasantly bitter. But when done well, eggplant has a mild flavor that soaks up whatever it’s cooked with, and a creamy texture akin to custard.
Whether you’re grilling, stir-frying, or sautéing, tossing the sliced or cubed produce into ratatouille, caponata, or stew, it’s important to know which types of eggplant can seamlessly transition from dish to dish, and which varieties should be saved for specific recipes. Once you get into the weeds of heirloom styles, you’ll find there are umpteen types of eggplant. Here are 10 we know and love, plus some exceptionally tasty recipes you can make with each.
