African King Egg Plant 800g

The African King Egg Plant product is a specific variety of dried or wild eggplant, commonly referred to as African Eggplant or Garden Egg in West Africa. It is a staple ingredient essential for preparing many traditional West African soups and stews.

This product typically consists of the dried form of the fruit, sometimes ground, but more often packaged as dried pieces of the vegetable. The drying process concentrates the natural flavor and allows for long-term storage.

• The dried pieces require rehydration (soaking in water) before cooking.
• Once rehydrated and cooked, the eggplant softens and contributes a unique, often slightly bitter or earthy flavor to the final dish, which is highly prized in regional cuisine.

The African Eggplant is primarily used as a key vegetable in savory dishes, where it serves as a thickening agent and flavor base.

• It is vital for the preparation of popular traditional soups and stews, often cooked with palm oil, smoked fish, and other vegetables.
• It is used in dishes where the traditional vegetable is valued for its contribution to both texture and the desired bitter undertone.

The African King brand, recognized for its packaging of African food staples, assures a high-quality version of this essential ingredient for consumers who are looking to recreate authentic African meals.
