There are more worms in vegetables during the rainy season. Especially, brinjals often turn out to be bad and rotten from inside. In such a situation, all the money is also wasted. After all, what should be done so that you can identify the right brinjal and buy edible brinjal.
Tips for buying brinjal in rainy season
1. Sometimes vegetables are not available fresh during the rainy season. Insects also come out in them. This problem is more common with brinjals. To check if the brinjal is fresh or not, look carefully at its colour. The upper skin of old brinjal will look dry, wrinkled and pale in colour. On the other hand, fresh brinjal will look darker and the upper skin will look shiny.
2. To identify whether the brinjal is edible or not, whether it has too many seeds or not, take the brinjal in your hand and see. If it is light, then understand that it will have less seeds. On the other hand, if the brinjal is very heavy, then it means that it may have more seeds.
3. You may see small holes on the outside of some brinjals. Never buy brinjals with these holes, as there are high chances of insects in them.
4. Whether the eggplant is round or long, it has a stalk. If the stalk is green in colour, then understand that the eggplant is fresh. However, if the stalk has turned black or has dried up, then do not buy it. It may be three-four days old.
5. Always buy small sized brinjals. There is a high chance of seeds and insects coming out of big brinjals. Buy only small sized brinjals. If you cook its vegetable and eat it, it will taste good.
