The name of the eggplant is said to come from the resemblance of some 18th century European varieties to hen's eggs: the fruits were pale in color, and smaller and rounder than the classic tear-drop Italian eggplant or the elongated, slender Japanese eggplant. Eggplants come in many different colors and sizes. Excellent for eggplant parmesan!
