Eggplant. Pick eggplant when their color is bright. Keep them cool but not cooler than 50 degrees. Eggplant will spoil after about one week.

Pick eggplants that are smooth, firm, glossy looking and feel heavy for their size. Avoid fruit that have blemishes or soft spots.
It's best to use eggplant right away. Fresh eggplant doesn't taste bitter—the bitterness comes with age. If you have to store it for a few days, put eggplant in a paper bag, rather than a plastic one, which makes it spoil faster.
