Home Taste Garden Eggs

Garden eggs — a small, round variety of eggplant — are a beloved ingredient across West Africa, especially in Ghana where 'garden egg stew' is a national favorite. These mild, slightly bitter fruits are eaten raw as a snack with groundnut paste, stewed into rich sauces, or pickled as a condiment. In Ghanaian culture, garden eggs symbolize fertility and blessing, and are traditionally offered at celebrations.
