American Eggplant is often Black Beauty variety and the photos does look slike this one. Also Asian long skinny eggplants are very popular here in the SF Bay Area. We love eggplant and I grow the egg shapped Indian eggplant great for stuffing, Thai round green and white eggplant great in curries, and several Asian eggplants that are long and purple or green and even white or yellow that are so versatle whether roasted/smoked on the grill or in stirfry dishes.
LOVE eggplant!

Looks good. What oil do you recommend for a)good taste b)good health ?
Begun is also known as Baingan in some Hindi speaking area and as Brinjal in British English speaking world. People also use Bhanta word for the the big rouded Brinjal used to make Bhaja . This Indian Bhanta has similar look as American Eggplant.
