【No. 1032】Nasu (ナス - Eggplant)
Oct 15, 2017 11:44
Do you like a kind of vegetable called "nasu" (ナス)?
Nasu is a vegetable native to India, and is grown from summer to autumn.
In English, it is called "eggplant" due to the shape.
Previously in Japan, "nasu" is commonly called "nasubi" (なすび).
There are several theories about the etymology of "nasubi."
For example, there are a theory that it comes from "natsumi" (夏実 - summer berry) due to the harvest period, and a theory that it comes from "nasumi" (中酸実 - berry having a sour center) due to the taste.
To tell you the truth, I don't like the texture of eggplants very much.

Eggplant is excellent chopped with other veggies in a tomato-based pasta sauce... :D

Thank you so much for correcting my post!
In this season, Japanese people often eat just grilled eggplants. I think that cooked eggplants containing in other dish like you said are better.

I have corrected your sentences. Avoiding unnecessary commas is one sign that you have your sentence in the correct order and have avoided a fragmented sentence.
I also assume that eggplant is not a vegetable because it has seeds. As you know, vegetables cannot have seeds.

Yes, eggplant has seeds, but interestingly it's usually regarded as "yasai" (野菜 - vegetable) in Japan. Thank you for letting me notice that. I will talk about that in today's entry.
