Tips for buying brinjal in the rainy season
1. Sometimes vegetables are not available fresh during the rainy season. Insects also come out of them. This problem is more common with brinjals. To check if the brinjal is fresh or not, look at its colour carefully. The upper skin of the old brinjal will look dry, wrinkled and pale in colour. On the other hand, the fresh brinjal will look darker and the upper skin will look shiny.
2. To check if the brinjal is edible or not, whether it has more 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, it means that it may have more seeds.
3. In some brinjals, you may see small holes on the outside. Never buy brinjals with these holes, because there may be a high possibility of insects in them.
4. Whether the brinjal is round or long, all have a stalk. If the colour of this stalk is green, then understand that the brinjal is fresh. On the other hand, if this stalk has turned black or dried up, then do not buy it. It may also 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.
