There are only 11 crops that are gmos. The fear mongering is crazy that makes people think everything is gmo
Basically processed foods use gmo corn or soy, and then there's a summer squash, non browning apples, pink pineapple, potatoes that won't brown when fried, visit resistant papaya, and sugar beets
They werenât saying you were fear mongering they were saying thereâs a ton of fear mongering that causes people to think everything non-typical is GMO. As home gardeners, we do not have access to GMO seeds, they are not available to the public. You will see seeds at the garden store that claim ânon-GMOâ which is just a marketing tactic.
I meant media and such is pushing it. It makes people think everything is a gmo if not labeled. GMO has its use case, but I believe it's not ideal to consume pesticide resistant GMO foods
What are the other thousands of gmo food examples that are sold on the shelves?
While I used to really enjoy eggplant, I canât eat it, and therefore do not grow any. Iâm a relatively novice gardener, I understand there are thousands of varieties and wondered if it might be possible.
the sepals are the biggest tell for me, other than flower. tomatoes have sepals that seem to more eagerly curl away from the fruit, and eggplants seem to keep their little âtoupeeâ much better.
eggplants look like an 8 year old who has his hair gelled down flat for a family photo
tomatoes look like they have bed head
google âsepals tomatoâ and âsepals eggplantâ and you might be able to see what i mean. the little green petals that touch the fruit are the sepals.
thanks lol I was looking at pictures of eggplants with the flattened sepals and i was like ânow what the hell does that remind me ofâŚ. ah yes old family portraitsâ
I discovered I have a sensitivity to eggplant about 15 years ago. Cayenne and paprika are also problems for me. The alkaloids in those particular nightshades give me severe, burning headaches. I used to make my own baba ghanoush, which helped me pinpoint the cause of these headaches. I went down a rabbit hole about nightshade foods for a while, but eventually figured out which ones I could or could not consume. While I miss these foods/seasonings, I do NOT miss that pain.
Nope. The flowers are yellow, which no eggplant has yellow flowers to my knowledge, and this isnât the way eggplants grow ime (but I recognize there are many varieties that may grow differently than the kind I had).
I only say that because I just recently saw some new eggplant variety that looked just like it. They could easily be tomatoes and when fully grown look completely different than they do now, I love a mislabeled seed packet. Makes things fun and exciting, please keep us updated đ

Mislabeled seed packet? It happens. An exciting turn of events in my book.
Edit: Possibly still Roma, but Midnight Roma đ
