Eggplant with fewest seeds??

I love eggplant, but for health reasons try to avoid eating the seeds of eggplants, peppers and tomatoes.
I'd like to find a variety with the fewest seeds. Or maybe one that if I harvest them young enough the seeds would still be very soft and immature.

Eggplants are eaten in an immature stage. By the time seeds form, the edible quality is nearly nill. I prefer the oriental types for flavor and texture. Longship photo Longship.jpg

Farmrdill said it.

Harvest them immature, just like cucumbers. If you let them stay longer the seeds will get hard and may create digestion problem for some of us.
I also like oriental (Jap, Chi) varieties.
