Eggplants should be picked when they are glossy and firm, typically when they reach about 6 to 8 inches in length. The skin should be deep in color, and the fruit should yield slightly to pressure but not feel soft. It's best to harvest them before they become overripe, as overripe eggplants can develop a bitter taste and tough skin. Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut the stem with a small part of it attached to the fruit to avoid damage.
