Grilled Eggplants
Our sliced eggplants are perfectly grilled to bring out a rich, smoky flavour and soft
texture, then frozen to preserve freshness. Ideal for Mediterranean dishes, sauces,
and dips, these eggplants add depth and flavour to any recipe.
Our grilled eggplants are carefully selected at peak maturity and flame-grilled to develop natural smoky flavor and tender texture. The grilling process preserves their deep purple color, natural sweetness, and soft consistency, making them ideal for retail, foodservice, and industrial applications.
