What Is The Best Way To Preserve Eggplant?
The best way to preserve eggplant is by refrigerating it or blanching and freezing it. Refrigerating eggplants can prolong their shelf life for up to a week by slowing down the ripening process. Blanching and freezing eggplants, on the other hand, can preserve their taste and texture for up to 6 months. To blanch and freeze eggplants, first, cut them into slices or cubes, blanch in boiling water for 4-5 minutes, then cool, drain, and package in airtight containers or freezer bags.
