Why it is ours

An ideal first eggplant for households that bounced off the bitterness of the globe — it lowers the barrier to getting a heart-healthy nightshade onto the plate.

What it does

Fairy tale eggplant offers the same nasunin-class anthocyanins and chlorogenic acid as larger types in a tender, never-bitter package. Its small size and quick cooking mean less oil and more of the skin's antioxidants retained. Low calorie and low glycemic, ideal for portion-controlled, blood-sugar-friendly cooking.

How it is cooked

Halve lengthwise and sear or grill cut-side down; they cook in 4-5 minutes. No salting needed. Toss whole into a roasting pan with other vegetables.
