The earliest references to eggplant can be found in Chinese and Indian records. Interestingly, though usually considered a vegetable, botanists classify eggplant as a berry. In Europe, eggplant is better known as aubergine. Once grown for only their decorative nature, eggplant has become a well loved favorite often prepared grilled, sauteed, roasted, baked or eaten fresh sliced. In Asia, the eggplant is known as the "king of vegetables" and a widely featured staple in Asian cuisine. Although most recognized in the purple oblong form, eggplant grows in a variety of colors including almost black, ultra violet, white, green and beautifully striped and modeled color combinations.
