Eggplant (Solanum melongena) or aubergine is a species of nightshade grown for its edible fruit.
It is known in South Asia, Southeast Asia and South Africa as brinjal.[1][2][3][4]"Eggplant" is the common name in North American and Australian English but British English uses "aubergine".[5] Other common names are melongene,[6] garden egg,[7] or guinea squash.[8]
The fruit is widely used in cooking, most notably as an important ingredient in dishes such as moussaka and ratatouille. As a member of the genus Solanum, it is related to both the tomato and the potato. It was originally domesticated from the wild nightshade species, the thorn or bitter apple, S. incanum,[9][10][11] probably with two independent domestications, one in the region of South Asia, and one inEast Asia.[12]
