A Complete Guide to Eggplant and Fruit Plastic Bag Preservation Methods
Place the selected eggplant fruits in a warehouse below room temperature of 20-25°C, stack them into piles, and seal them with a polyethylene film tent. The oxygen content inside the tent is 2%-5%, and the carbon dioxide content is 5%. Under these low-oxygen and high-carbon dioxide conditions, because respiration intensity is reduced and ethylene synthesis in the body is limited, and the action of ethylene is blocked, the detachment of eggplant stems is prevented and eggplant fruit rot is reduced. This method can store eggplant fruits for about 30 days, maintaining their original commercial value. Some people also use 10-micron-thick high-density polyethylene bags to store selected

A Detailed Guide to Planting and Caring for the Nipplefruit (Solanum mammosum)
The nipplefruit, Solanum mammosum, is a plant in the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and the genus Solanum. It gets its name because its fruit resembles a nipple, and it is also called the five-fingered fruit because the base of the fruit has several finger-like protrusions. The nipplefruit is a perennial deciduous subshrub with a plant height of up to 2 m and a crown of up to 1 m. Its branches are thick and semi-lignified, with prickles and short fine hairs. Its leaves are opposite, broadly ovate, 10-20 cm long, and irregularly lobed. The flowers are axillary and borne in cymes. The fruit is green, turning golden yellow when ripe, conical with a blunt tip, and variable in size; the largest can reach 10 cm, with finger-like protrusions at the base.

Why is the nipplefruit also called "five generations under one roof" and "golden fruit"
Aliases: five generations under one roof, golden fruit, five sons paying birthday respects. Family and genus: an evergreen small shrub of the genus Solanum in the family Solanaceae. Morphological characteristics: the fruit of the nipplefruit is golden yellow with a peculiar shape; its flowering and fruiting period is summer and autumn, and the fruiting period is long, especially after leaf fall in early winter, because its fruit does not change color or shrink, making it unique and attractive. It is an upright branching small shrub, usually grown as an annual, with a plant height of 0.5--1.5 m, relatively sparse leaves, and the whole plant covered with waxy yellow flat spines. Its flowering and fruiting period is summer and autumn; before flowering, the flower buds often droop, and when fully open they are slightly upright, with 5 purple flowers
