Eggplant, aubergine, or brinjal is a plant species in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Solanum melongena is grown worldwide for its edible fruit. Most commonly purple, the spongy, absorbent fruit is used in various cuisines. Although often considered a vegetable, it is a berry by botanical definition. As a member of the genus Solanum, it is related to tomato and potato. Like the tomato, its skin and seeds can be eaten, but, like the potato, it is usually eaten cooked. Eggplant is nutritionally low in macronutrient and micronutrient content, but the capability of the fruit to absorb oils and flavors into its flesh through cooking expands its use in the culinary arts.
Crisp and zesty with just the right amount of heat. Eat them whole, slice them and top a sandwich or pair them with mixed charcuterie, with these sprouts you can’t go wrong!
Baby corn (also known as young corn, cornlets or baby sweetcorn) is a cereal grain taken from corn (maize) harvested early while the stalks are still small and immature. It typically is eaten whole – cob included – in contrast to mature corn, whose cob is too tough for human consumption. It is eaten both raw and cooked. Baby corn is common in stir fry dishes.
Each caper bud produces a fruit called a caperberry. The berry is on a long stem, and grows form the opened caper bud, as it transforms into a flower. Caperberries are sued in a wide variety of dishes. A great martini garnish, too!
Olympos beets are grown exclusively in Greece. The Mediterranean climate and soil gives them a unique flavor profile compared to beets grown in other countries. The beets are steamed, keeping their rich nutrients intact. Grape must is added to the brine to provide some additional sweetness without using sugar. These sweet beets are lightly steamed to assure a firm but tender texture and full flavor.
Crispy, crunchy and firm whole okra carry a nice kick of heat and mouthwatering tartness. Try them on a traditional Cuban sandwich.
