What is Regular eggplant?
Standard globe eggplant — large, glossy, deep-purple fruit with creamy white flesh. The high-yield workhorse eggplant for parm, dips and roasted dishes, sold by the case.
Breaded and fried for eggplant parm, roasted and blended for baba ganoush, grilled, layered into moussaka and lasagna, or stewed in caponata and ratatouille. Soaks up oil and flavor; salt it to firm the flesh and cut bitterness.

What's behind the price
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on regular eggplant can shift week to week.
Across the year the trend has been up (up about 65% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Seasonality in the Northeast
A warm-season crop best summer into early fall locally (Northeast and East Coast); Mexico, Florida and greenhouse supply cover the rest of the year.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Pick firm, heavy, glossy fruit that springs back to the touch, with a fresh green cap — dull skin and soft give mean old, seedy and bitter. Doesn't love the cold; hold at cool room temp and use within 4–5 days.
