Eggplant is Solanum melongena?

Yes, it is. As a member of the genus Solanum, eggplant is related to the tomato, chilli pepper, and potato families.
Like the tomato, its skin and seeds can be eaten. Additionally, like the potato, it is usually eaten cooked.
Eggplant is nutritionally low in macronutrient and micronutrient content, but the capability of the fruit to absorb oils and flavours into its flesh through cooking expands its use in the culinary arts deepens.
