Add a photoEggplants that are younger (more glossy) tend to have less seeds and are less bitter. At one time I had believed “gender” played a role in the presence of seeds but research I read recently explained that more seeds are an indication of age, NOT the eggplant being a “female”. Eggplants are self-pollinators and have both male and female organs within the flower. But in “salting” the eggplant before cooking you can reduce any bitterness and make it more tender.
