Handling & Storage
It is best to use eggplant within one day of purchase; but it can be refrigerated for up to four days. Eggplants bruise easily, so handle with care.
Cooked eggplant can be refrigerated for 3 days. Freeze pureed eggplant up to 6 months with a little bit of lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
