Question

The eggplant I bought the other day at the store is starting to go brown in areas. Is it still good?

Answer 1

Usually it means it gone bitter.

Answer 2

Yes it's good, just cut away the brown spots. If the whole thing seems mushy toss it.

Answer 3

Usually that means it's gone bitter ... eggplant doesn't keep very well and should be cooked as soon as possible after buying.

I would cut up a few pieces and saute it in olive oil, then taste it ... if it tastes okay - saute it all up and add to a tomato sauce to have with pasta. Or make a caponata:

Answer 4

Charlie is right. Cut the portion which are brown and use the rest.
