Made without added preservatives or colourings, they are suitable for vegans and are gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

For a simple meal, add the aubergine slices to pasta salads, grain bowls or roasted vegetable dishes. They also make a useful topping for homemade pizza or an accompaniment to grilled meat and fish.
