Preparing eggplant

To keep the eggplant from soaking up too much oil, sprinkle it with salt after slicing and let it drain for about 30 minutes. Rinse off the salt afterwards. Then it’s ready to cook!

Growing Method

BelOrta’s eggplants are grown in greenhouses, both in substrate and in soil. With substrate cultivation, the plants are fed nutrients absorbed in the substrate, while soil cultivation means the plants grow in natural earth. Both methods produce healthy, flavourful eggplants of high quality.
