Terung Asam, or sour aubergine, is a kind of aubergine usually found in small quantities at the wet market sold by farmers. Mostly, they are not cultivated per Se but sprout by chance at the edges of vegetable plots or farmland. There are 2 varieties, a large kiwi fruit-sized variety and these in the below photograph - tiny ones. When they are ripe, they usually have a golden yellow shade with hairy skin. These are mainly used in Gulai, soupy-based cooking or even eaten raw as salad.
