Eggplants are the unsung heroes of the vegetable kingdom. Here's a few facts to get you started:

• 1. Eggplants are technically a fruit. Don't @ me.
• 2. They're a member of the nightshade family, which also includes deadly poisonous plants like the Deadly Nightshade (just kidding, that's not real)
• 3. Eggplants are native to India, where they're a staple in many dishes, like the infamous CurryConquests.
• 4. The largest eggplant ever recorded weighed 22.7 pounds. That's one big eggplant
• 5. You can use eggplant as a dye plant. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
