These Turkish eggplants feature a firm, dense texture with smooth, glossy skin in a deep purple shade. Popular in Mediterranean cuisine, they are great for cooking or traditional roasted salads. Salting them before cooking helps draw out bitterness and softens the flesh. Keep them stored in the fridge, where they stay fresh for around 3 days.

Description
Eggplants provide fiber and a wide range of nutrients. This low-calorie vegetable is found in the Mediterranean diet.
Usage:
Eggplants should be firm and "heavy", dense, with a smooth, shiny skin and a deep purple hue. When cutting an eggplant, use a stainless steel or wooden knife, not carbon steel, to prevent a phytochemical reaction that can cause the eggplant to turn black.
Tip:
Eggplants can have a slightly bitter taste. "Sweating" an eggplant with salt will draw out moisture and some of the compounds that contribute to the bitterness, ultimately making the flesh of the vegetable more tender. For the traditional eggplant salad, you will get more flavor if the eggplants are baked on the grill. It's worth a try!
Storage:
Keep them in the refrigerator until ready to use.
