Experiment with different varieties of eggplants. Familiar purple eggplants have a firm texture and mild flavor. Japanese varieties are long, thin fruits with smooth flesh. Round, orange Turkish eggplants have a strong, faintly bitter tang. Eggplants also absorb flavors from other foods, so you may like some eggplant recipes and dislike others.
