Japanese Eggplant

Japanese Eggplant

EverydayFresh

Japanese eggplant is a slender, elongated variety of eggplant with thin purple skin and a mildly sweet flavor. Unlike globe eggplants, it contains fewer seeds and has a more delicate, less bitter flesh that absorbs flavors well during cooking. This vegetable cooks faster than standard eggplants and is particularly valued in Asian cuisines for stir-fries, grilling, and braising, while providing fiber, antioxidants, and potassium in a low-calorie package.
