"''Egg plants will provide you with ammo, and you’ll need plenty of it to carve your way through the stone.''"</ref>) are flowers that are found in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]. These flowers normally spit out normal [[Yoshi Egg]]s, and are very common and appear in almost every level in their respective games. They spit out Yoshi Eggs one at a time, but if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] [[Ground Pound]]s near one, the plant will either shoot out several at once or start shooting them out more quickly. The Yoshi can also lick the eggs to catch them. Since the Yoshi can only carry six eggs each, the Egg Plant will not produce more eggs anymore until the Yoshi uses one of the Yoshi Eggs on something.

The Egg Plant's name comes from the eggplant, a type of fruit. It also shares its name with a type of nightshade (hence the appearance).

Some Egg Plants known as [[Sanbo Flower]]s will spit out [[Needlenose]]s, but as long as a Yoshi has six eggs, it cannot spit any out. There are four of these plants in the [[Island Museum]]. They can be viewed in the botanical enemy exhibit.

An unused variation that spits out Bubbles was intended to appear, but was removed for unknown reasons.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_World_2:_Yoshi%27s_Island#Unused_Sprites The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> Like the [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]], it is fully functional.

An Egg Plant appears in the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' volume 14, where it helps [[Mario]], Yoshi, and [[Luigi]] by providing eggs in their fight against [[Burt the Bashful]].

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Egg Plants are knitted, and in replacement for eggs, they shoot out [[Yarn Ball]]s of multiple colors. Egg Plants appear less frequently in the game, with only a few appearances, including the [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]]. Notably, the game does not feature the variation that spits out [[Needlenose]]s due to the fact that they were replaced by [[Pokey Pom]]s.

Egg Plants reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''.
