1. A good eggplant should have no wrinkles and the flesh should give when pressed with the finger, but should completely spring back.
2. Smaller is better. The seeds are more developed and more bitter in older eggplants.
3. Female eggplant has more seeds. Femal will have OVAL navel, and male will have a ROUND navel.
4. Top should be bright green
