Did you know:
Eggplant is actually a fruit (like tomatoes)

Eggplants are native to the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayan area, and they have been cultivated in Southeast Asia since prehistoric times. Arabs brought eggplant to the Mediterranean area in the early Middle Ages.

The reason this fruit is called an "eggplant" is because the cultivars in the 18th century were white to pale yellow in color, and resembled hen's eggs.
