Greenhouse Italian eggplant is limited in availability right now.
Its as expected at this time of year, says Daniel Mosquera of MamaMia Produce in East Rutherford, NJ. The supplies into the U.S. are from Spain and a little bit from Mexico. Mexico supplies these eggplants year-round as it grows in two different regions.
That said, what is available is having quality issues. The weather has been pretty erratic lately in Mexico and the quality is not there. Its very cold in some areas of Mexico,
