Nope, just had a look on Google and they don’t look like eggplant seeds
This looks like black mold to me

Tell me the secret to buffalo flavoring for fried tofu! I’ve got the crisp coating down pretty well using either potato or corn starch but I’m missing some sort of almost smoky-peppery flavoring that is so textbook of, say, Tyson chicken strips or something. I feel I’ve stumbled across it once or twice but never actually isolated the spice.
Obviously I’ve dumped tons of garlic, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne powder, and no amount of frank’s does the trick lol.
Second to that I’m trying to remake an Americanized Korean Hot sauce I had before that is definitely one part frank’s and I think gochugang but again, missing something else.

Thanks, I’ll definitely be trying liquid smoke next! I really should start messing around with curry seasoning more. I might also try to find aged cayenne pepper to see if that makes any difference, too.
I’m no chef but… smoked paprika? Sounds like it could fit the bill, maybe.
Good suggestion! I did try that but unfortunately it didn’t seem to be it. Unless I just didn’t put enough in.
I think I stumbled across it somehow with air frying pickled jalapeños alongside the tofu but couldn’t replicate it. Not sure if it had to do with the vinegar or crisped/burnt jalapeño, etc.
Liquid smoke? Start with ml amounts.
Definitely death.
Well, yours is the only answer she agrees with, so I guess it’s right.
eating eggplant for years, it is fine - a general rule of thumb - if if looks good, smells good, doesnt seem wierd to touch, and does not taste bad, it is probably good (does not apply to wild berries/leaves/mushrooms).
That might be black mold
if it is fresh then most likely not, i have had very fresh eggplants (3-4 hrs after getting from field) and it had spots. I am not sure, but i think it is fine, but if it is old, then your hypothesis can not be ruled out easily
That eggplant doesn’t look fresh to me either, it looks old
That’s toxic and you shouldn’t eat it! Specifically because it’s eggplant.
Pretty sure eggplants are from the nightshade family for anyone who doesn’t know
Nightshade family flowers are poisonous
So are tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers.
That’s correct, you’re taunting death when you eat it. It tries to warn you with its disgusting taste and texture.
Those are tarantula eggs 😜
I see these on eggplants a lot. IDK what they are.
I have a ton of theories. Do you happen to have a laser pointer you don’t care about?
If so, take off the lense, put it in a hair pin, tape that to your phone’s camera’s lens, and take a macro image.
Post that image, and you’ll get way better feedback.
Nice. I actually have a pocket microscope. I should have thought of that. It would have to wait until the next time she freaks out like this.
If in doubt chuck it
I’ve never seen this on any eggplant I’ve cut in my life
Also that eggplant looks old and not fresh
That looks like the kind of mold that gives you headaches if ingested into your digestive system
I’ve also just had a look on google
No eggplant looks like your image and looks more like I expect to see based on all the eggplants I’ve cut
I doubt the other answers not saying its mold
This is a flavor blasted eggplant
Those are definitely, 100% the seeds.
