How to keep aubergines fresh 

An 17th century cookbook from Korea, Eumsik dimibang (음식디미방) introduces various ways of conserving aliments. Among others, I found it is simple and easy to practice a way of keeping aubergines over the winter after the harvest. 

As western countries use for pears, deep the stem of aubergine into the wax. The original method is with beeswax but any wax could work like the one for the pear. Because the principle is that the wax keep the loss of humidity away from the vegetables.
