Japanese Eggplant

Berenjena Japonesa

Scientific name: Solanum melongena (Japanese variety).

The Japanese Eggplant is a unique variety known for its elongated shape and dark purple hue. Unlike common Eggplant, the Japanese variety has a thinner skin and a smoother texture, making it perfect for Asian dishes and other culinary preparations.

Its flavor is mild and sweet, becoming an essential ingredient in Japanese cuisine in dishes such as tempura and miso-glazed Eggplant, and its elongated shape makes it easy to slice into thin strips, ideal for stir-fries and garnishes.
