Japanese aubergine
A long, slender aubergine with tender skin and melting flesh.
The Japanese aubergine is long and slender, with supple purple skin and dense flesh with few seeds. It cooks quickly and becomes melting without bitterness. It is the ideal aubergine for Asian preparations, such as miso-glazed aubergine, but also for the plancha or barbecue.
