Recognizable by its oval shape and smooth, deep purple skin, the Italian eggplant offers tender, mildly bitter flesh—perfect for stews, gratins, or grilling. It absorbs flavours beautifully and becomes melt-in-your-mouth soft when cooked. Low in calories but rich in fibre, antioxidants, and B vitamins, it supports digestion and cardiovascular health. A Mediterranean staple to enjoy year-round. Choose firm eggplants that feel heavy for their size, with glossy, even-toned skin free of blemishes or soft spots. A gentle press should leave no mark—a sign of freshness and firmness.
