When eggplants are sprinkled with salt, the salt draws out water through a process called osmosis. The salt creates a concentration gradient, causing water to move from the eggplant's cells into the surrounding environment to balance the concentration. This process not only reduces bitterness but also helps to improve the texture by making the eggplant less spongy and more suitable for cooking.
