Its thin, glossy skin and delicate flavor make Food Connect’s long, slender, dark lavender Chinese eggplant (called Ping Tung) an ideal variety for everything from a stir-fry with scallions to the spicy Indian baingan bhartha. Simply brushed with olive oil and grilled, Chinese eggplant is sweet and tender.

Here's what you get:

  • 1 lb of Chinese Eggplant

Why We Love It

Bitter is not a word in this nightshade’s vocabulary. Unlike some larger American and Italian varieties, the Chinese eggplant, which has fewer seeds, has an almost-sweet flavor. Food Connect’s Brian Hashizume has selected the most tender and mild of the breed, and we love them stir-fried with pork, roasted and mashed to make a baba ghanouj, and preserved in oil to add to our sandwiches when we’re in a Ping Tung mood.
