Eggplant is popular in most regions of the Southern United States. Thomas Jefferson, was the first to experiment with several types of eggplant in his Virginia garden, and it was he who introduced eggplant to The United States. Of Asian origins, the first types ended up being extremely sour tasting, but through cultivation and crossbreeding the flavor has greatly improved.
