Eggplant leaves, often overlooked, are the verdant green foliage of the eggplant plant. While not as commonly consumed as the fruit, these leaves offer a slightly bitter, somewhat grassy flavor profile. Their texture, when cooked, is similar to spinach or other leafy greens. Fresh eggplant leaves have a vibrant green appearance and can be used in a variety of culinary applications where a mild bitterness is desired. Consider adding eggplant leaves for a unique twist in your recipes.

Eggplant leaves are best used fresh. However, if you need to store them, wrap them loosely in a slightly damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or container in the refrigerator. Use within a few days for the best quality. They are not typically frozen.
