1, look at the appearance: if the epidermis has rotten spots, the texture is soft and rotten, and the cut eggplant meat is black and yellow. It is bad eggplant, but it should be noted that eggplant will turn yellow and brown due to oxidation after peeling or cutting.
2, pinch: good eggplant skin is thin and fluffy, tender and sweet, and it is elastic to pinch, and bad eggplant is pinched with soft rotten water.
3, smell: intact fresh eggplant has no special taste, but if the broken eggplant will give off the smell of fermentation, corruption, etc., even if it is made into a dish, it will have a bitter taste.
