Fresh Chinese Eggplant – per lb

Fresh Chinese eggplant sold by the pound, with slender, deep purple skin and tender, mild flesh. Its thin skin and few seeds make it quick to cook, holding up beautifully in stir-fries, curries, and roasted or braised dishes. It soaks up sauces and spices well, giving a silky texture in bharta, sabzi, and grilled preparations. A versatile everyday vegetable for weeknight cooking.
