Description

Eggplant is an excellent alternative to potato or plantain chips as a vegetarian option. This vegetable is also very popular in Asian and Hindu cuisines. In order to tell that your eggplant is of good quality, look out for a smooth, firm, consistency and deep purple to black skin. The flesh should not give way under pressure and there should be no mold present around the stem. Slice them, dice them, stir-fry them or add them to your soups for an extra kick of flavor.

How to Store

Storage

– Store in its sealed original carton in the warmest part of the walk-in cooler. Chilling injury (water-soaked spots, pitting and accelerated decay) can occur if held for more than 3 days, unprotected, in a walk-in cooler.

– Store in the original container to protect. Do not stack heavy objects on top of cases to limit the potential of crushing.

– Store away from drafts from the walk-in cooler. Eggplants are extremely susceptible to dehydration.

 

Handling

– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.

– Eggplant has an expected shelf life of 4-5 days. Plan to rotate frequently to maintain quality.

– Handle with care; eggplant will bruise easily.

– Avoid placing the case or raw product on non-sanitized kitchen counter tops to help prevent the potential for cross contamination.

– Limit the time the product is out of refrigeration, do not allow the unused product to reach room temperature.

 

Preparation

– Prep fresh daily as needed. Try not to use a product from the previous day.

– Use the entire eggplant. Do not store partially prepped product back into the walk-in cooler.
