Eggplants don’t cope very well with extreme changes of temperature
As it’s a vegetable, there’s a high chance that your natural instinct is to keep your eggplants in the refrigerator. However, it’s best to keep them away from this kind of environment. That’s because eggplants are pretty sensitive souls, and don’t deal well with changing temperatures that often come from being stored in the fridge.
The cold temperature will slow down their ripening process and can leave the eggplant looking and tasting a little deflated. To get the most out of your eggplant, it’s best to keep it away from direct sunlight and to keep it away from other vegetables and fruit. They just like to be alone, is that too much to ask?
