Solanum Aethiopicum
Solanum aethiopicum, bitter tomato, Ethiopian eggplant or nakata, is a
plant that produces fruit from the genus Solanum, which occurs mainly in Asia and tropical Africa. He is also known as Ethiopian nightgowns, garden eggs and
tomato models. This is a popular vegetable in northeast India. They are eaten with meat, especially pork. These names are the result of various morphologies, with ripe fruit often resembling a cross between eggplants and tomatoes, which also originates from Solanum. Red eggplants, also known as Gilo or Jilo, have long been considered separate
species (S. gilo), but are now generally considered to be a group of S. aethiopicum varieties. The highly varied fruit of plants is consumed both raw and cooked and is becoming increasingly popular as a plant. These fruits are usually picked as long as they are green before the skin becomes thick. The bitterness depends on the saponin content, some with a sweet taste and others are very bitter. When the fruit is ripe, the color turns red due to high carotene.
