eggplants

Question

Hello,
When is the best harvest time/moment for eggplants, if we are concerned about a low alkaloid concentration?
Very ripe, not so ripe, just ripe, green inside?
thanks for any hint!!!

Stefan

Answer 1

The best time is while it is still firm, but not after it has gone leathery and wrinkled. This will take a little practice. In the meantime, this article will get you started: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/eggplant/how-to-harvest-eggplants.htm
