Mild and tender with a creamy texture once cooked, White Aretussa eggplant is an easy way to bring something a little different to the weeknight vegetable rotation. Roast it until golden, grill thick slices, sauté it with tomatoes and herbs, or layer it into pasta and baked dishes.

Grown organically in Texas by Gundermann Farms, this pale-skinned variety is a seasonal produce find that delivers plenty of versatility without much prep.
