Bread Flour

A robust, high-protein flour that boasts a golden hue, bread flour is the backbone of any hearty loaf. Its texture is finely milled, offering a silky feel that promises elasticity and strength in your dough.

Eggplant

Eggplant is a versatile vegetable belonging to the nightshade family, alongside tomatoes and peppers. Originating in South or East Asia, it has become a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its flavor is mild and earthy, with a subtly sweet and smoky taste when cooked. The texture is firm and spongy, transforming into a creamy or melt-in-your-mouth consistency when roasted or grilled. Eggplant readily absorbs oil and sauces, making it an excellent vehicle for flavor. In cooking, it browns well and softens, lending itself to a variety of dishes from appetizers to main courses.
