Eggplant

The rich purple hue of the eggplant betrays its nutrient-rich interior. Eggplant is packed with important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, from anthocyanins to phytonutrients. It’s also tasty: often fried or baked, eggplant is a popular meat or carbohydrate substitute. The soft inside of eggplant can be roasted, pureed, fried, mashed, shredded, and more.
Eggplant is generally in season in the summer and fall, but available year-round for off-season needs. Interested in purchasing eggplant for your consumers? Contact us to learn more about our experience in sourcing quality, flavorful eggplant for wholesale or private label needs!
