Sicilian Eggplant Collection
Fresh Organic Sicilian Style Eggplant to Order • Ships Nationwide Among all the eggplants we grow, this is the variety our chefs buy more than any other. With its beautiful lavender-and-white striped skin, creamy flesh, and naturally sweet flavor, Sicilian Style Eggplant has become a favorite in restaurant kitchens for its exceptional texture and versatility. Unlike the large Globe eggplants commonly found in supermarkets, these medium-sized Italian eggplants have thinner skin, fewer seeds, and a dense, creamy interior that becomes silky when cooked without turning bitter. This is a fresh product for eating. We do not sell seeds or plant stock. Why Chefs Love It This is the eggplant we sell more of to professional chefs than any other variety we grow. Its consistent size, tender skin, and rich, creamy flesh make it ideal for everything from rustic Italian cooking to fine dining. It absorbs olive oil beautifully while holding its shape, making it equally suited to roasting, grilling, frying, braising, and wood-fired ovens. What Does It Taste Like? Sicilian Style Eggplant has a sweet, delicate flavor with virtually no bitterness. Its flesh is dense yet creamy, becoming silky and velvety when cooked. Because it contains relatively few seeds and has exceptionally tender skin, there's rarely any need to peel or salt it before cooking. How to Use Sicilian Style Eggplant Grill thick slices with olive oil and herbs Make classic Eggplant Parmesan Roast whole or halved until silky Cube into pasta sauces or caponata Stuff and bake with cheese and breadcrumbs Char over an open flame for smoky spreads and dips It pairs beautifully with tomatoes, garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, olive oil, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and fresh herbs.
