How to freeze eggplant
Select a fresh eggplant.
The fresher an eggplant is, the better it will hold up after being frozen.
Any eggplant you freeze should be ripe and the seeds should not yet be fully mature.
Look for eggplants that have a uniformly dark hue. Do not use eggplants that have soft spots or mismatched patches of color.
