… those the seeds innit?
A Google Image search for eggplant seeds shows something much larger than what OP’s talking about.
Probably didn’t develop fully yet. Eggplants are picked before they fully ripen. They could also be aborted seeds that will never grow too.
This. Eggplant seeds are growing. Not fully developed yet.
Huh, TIL. Thanks!

Nice thank you for this.
Nope, just had a look on Google and they don’t look like eggplant seeds
This looks like black mold to me
