What are the parts of eggplant that can be eaten?

You can eat the entire eggplant, except for the stem and the calyx (the green, leaf-like part at the top).

Here's a breakdown:

* Fruit: This is the main part you eat, with its flesh, skin, and seeds. The flesh can be cooked in many ways, and the skin is often eaten as well.

* Stem: The stem is tough and woody and not usually eaten.

* Calyx: This part is also tough and bitter and is typically discarded.

So, feel free to enjoy the whole eggplant, just remove the stem and calyx before cooking!
