Although commonly thought of as a vegetable, an eggplant is actually a fruit. This is because it has seeds and comes from a flowering plant, as opposed to a root or stem.

To effectively harvest eggplant from your garden, wait until the fruit is firm and shiny with a deep color. Use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut the eggplant from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Be gentle to avoid damaging the plant. Store the harvested eggplant in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) typically has a higher number of chloroplasts in its leaves compared to its stem. This is because chloroplasts are primarily found in the mesophyll cells of leaves, where photosynthesis occurs. The exact number can vary depending on environmental conditions, plant health, and specific plant variety, but generally, leaves contain thousands of chloroplasts per cell, while stem cells have significantly fewer.
