Round brinjal, also known as globe eggplant, is a variety of eggplant that, as the name suggests, typically has a rounded or spherical shape. The seeds of round brinjal are the reproductive units found within the fruit and are used for propagation. The seeds of round brinjal are vital for propagating plants that produce eggplants with a distinct rounded shape. They offer diversity in eggplant varieties, allowing for the cultivation of specific types with unique shapes, colors, and culinary uses.
