I do not know whether the temp is just too hot ( Texas in August) or what...... This is a wonderful variety!! My question is "Can I still eat them?" or would the yellow color indicate a bitterness?? aw My India Paint eggplants (Cook’s Seed Catalog) are turning yellow even before they grow very large.

Other eggplant varieties are so small you'll have to eat them skin and all. Asian makes some kind of salt dip to go with eggplants. If you have too many i would slice them up and dehydrate them, store them in zip locs then freeze. That will prolong the storage life, and they taste sweeter, but only if yours aren't too bitter to begin with. Or you can send them my way.
