What are these tiny dots in eggplants (might need to zoom in)? My wife keeps finding these in most of the eggplants she cuts, and is concerned if this is something bad, or just something normal.

I’m no chef but… smoked paprika? Sounds like it could fit the bill, maybe.

Good suggestion! I did try that but unfortunately it didn’t seem to be it. Unless I just didn’t put enough in.

I think I stumbled across it somehow with air frying pickled jalapeños alongside the tofu but couldn’t replicate it. Not sure if it had to do with the vinegar or crisped/burnt jalapeño, etc.
