Eggplant is a staple across many cuisines, prized for its firm flesh and ability to absorb flavour. China grows several varieties differing in colour, shape and texture, suited to different cooking uses.

Common varieties

Chinese eggplant includes long, slender purple types and round or oval varieties, with some light-coloured types. Shape, skin colour and flesh texture vary by variety, influencing how each is used.

Choosing by use

Long varieties are ideal for stir-fry and grilling, while round and meaty types suit curries, roasts and stuffed dishes. Buyers select varieties to match their market's cooking traditions and preferences.

Harvest and handling

Eggplant is harvested at the right maturity to avoid bitter or seedy fruit, then handled carefully to protect the glossy skin. Prompt grading by variety and size keeps each lot consistent.

Packing and export

Selected fruit is packed in ventilated cartons by size and grade, with careful loading to protect the skin in transit. Proper storage and prompt cold handling keep eggplant firm and fresh.
