Asian Purple Eggplant

Asian Purple Eggplants have a mild and sweet flavor without the bitterness associated with eggplant. Asian Purple Eggplants are well suited for cooking methods such as braising, stir-frying, sautéing, and grilling. Their tender flesh cooks quicker than most eggplant varieties, and its flavor and texture will be at its peak when baked.

Complimentary ingredients include cumin, garlic, ginger, cilantro, fermented beans, chilies, soy sauce, vinegar, mushrooms, onions, sesame oil, chicken, pork, chickpeas, lentils, hardy greens, and summer vegetables such as tomatoes and squashes.
