But beneath that thick purple skin, eggplant is vulnerable, making it a pain to store.

Ensure that you only eat the best eggplant possible by storing it properly and using it before it starts going bad. Read on for the best ways to store eggplant at room temperature and in the fridge, how long eggplant lasts, and the best way to store eggplant in the freezer.

How to Store Eggplant

• The best place to store eggplant for a few days is in the refrigerator. Eggplant is delicate. It's sensitive to light and both the heat and the cold, and it starts decomposing quickly.
• Remove any plastic packaging to hold off spoiling quickly.
• Raw, the fruit should only be stored whole — once the interior is exposed, it will start going bad.

How to Store Cut Eggplant

• Storing cut eggplant isn't recommended because once the flesh is exposed, it will start browning and going bad.
• However, if you've already cut it, store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
