Eggplant is a versatile purple vegetable with glossy skin and spongy flesh, ideal for grilling, roasting, baking, and stewing. Purchase whole eggplants for use in Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern recipes.
Eggplant features smooth, dark-purple skin and creamy, absorbent flesh that soaks up flavors during cooking. Commonly used sliced, diced, or halved for grilling, roasting, baking, and stewing. Store unwashed eggplants in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator crisper for up to one week to maintain texture and flavor. Use in ratatouille, baba ganoush, curries, or as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.
