Yellow Eggplant Fruit

Most people think of large, waxy, purple fruits when eggplant comes to mind. Although many eggplants are purple, not every variety produces this iconic fruit color. Eggplant fruits can range in color from pale green to a deep purple that looks black, including many that appear in shades of yellow, or even white. If you’ve never grown a specific variety before, yellow could simply be the color of the fruit on your plant. Light-colored eggplants are prone to yellowing when they’re approaching an over-ripe state. If this color is appearing on your larger eggplants, but sparing the smaller ones, try harvesting the fruits earlier. Another common cause of yellowing of eggplants is sunburn, which happens when leaves are damaged or removed, exposing the skin of tender, young fruits to excessive ultraviolet radiation. This damage may appear as cream to tan spots, or might cover the entire exposed surface of the fruit. ...

Thnx alpo very helpful , its mystery lets see whats thr cause , they look normal to me , i was thinking if its due to over ripe fruit it should turn shade brown instead of yellow ? and if its sunburn it would have some streaking? Some one who have experienced this can tell . Ihv harvested , lets see next fruit how it will be .

The reason I wanted to see the end of the eggplant was to make sure there wasn't blossom end rot or caterpillar damage, both of which can lead to yellowing. There isn't any damage or sign of blossom end rot or caterpillars. What you have is a yellow variety of eggplant such as the on following link.

Depending on the variety, the leaves don’t look quite as big as they should be. They could be greener too. There may be some NPK or magnesium deficiency. The variety may be yellow too.
