Round White Eggplant 100g T2

The Essential Crunch for Authentic Thai Curries: Round White Eggplant

Complete your authentic Thai flavor palette with Fresh Round White Eggplants (Ma Keua Proh). Unlike the large, spongy purple eggplants found in the West, these small, round varieties are prized for their unique texture and ability to withstand rich curries without turning into mush.

These eggplants feature a firm, pale skin and a seed-filled interior that offers a satisfying crunch when eaten raw and a tender, creamy texture when cooked. They possess a mild, slightly bitter flavor that is the perfect counterbalance to the creamy sweetness of coconut milk curries and the salty heat of chili pastes.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Authentic Thai Variety: The specific round eggplant required for traditional Green Curry (Kaeng Khiao Wan) and Red Curry.

• Dual Texture: Deliciously crunchy when eaten raw with dips, and melt-in-the-mouth soft when simmered in soups.

• Flavor Balancer: The sponge-like flesh absorbs curry sauces while the slightly bitter skin cuts through rich coconut milk.

• Versatile Ingredient: Can be quartered and cooked in curries, stir-fried with basil and chili, or sliced thin and eaten fresh.

• Fresh Harvest: Sourced fresh to ensure a crisp skin and bright flesh.

Culinary Applications:

• Thai Green Curry: Quarter the eggplants and add them to the simmering curry in the last 5 minutes of cooking so they remain tender but not disintegrating.

• Nam Prik (Chili Dip): Slice into wedges and serve raw alongside Shrimp Paste Dip (Nam Prik Kapi) for a refreshing crunch.

• Stir-Fry: Perfect for Spicy Stir-Fried Eggplant with Basil and Minced Pork.
