Seasonal Calendar
The eggplant season in the Canary Islands runs from May to October. The peak production season is from June to August.
Eggplant is a vegetable that can be grown year-round in the Canary Islands, but from May to October, eggplant can be found in Canarian markets at a lower price and with better quality.
- May to October: This is the peak growing season for eggplant in the Canary Islands. During these months, eggplant is freshest, crispiest, and packed with nutrients. It's also more affordable than eggplant imported from other countries.
- November to April: Eggplant is still available during these months, but the quality and price may not be as good. Imported eggplant can be more expensive and may not have the same flavor as locally grown eggplant.
Selection tips
Here are some tips for choosing a good eggplant:
- The skin should be smooth and shiny.
- The eggplant should be firm, but not too hard.
- If the eggplant is too green, it's not ripe. If the eggplant is too yellow, it's overripe.
- The eggplant stem should be green and firm.
- If the stem of the eggplant is dry or withered, the eggplant is not fresh.
Conservation
Store eggplants in a cool place, ideally in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature, and away from direct sunlight.

I've tried the organic basil from Sanus Market and I'm very happy with it. It's perfect for my recipes, fresh and aromatic, and I love that it's organic and locally sourced. Highly recommended!

Fresh, with a perfect texture and a super authentic flavor. I baked them with a touch of oil and salt, and they were spectacular! You can really taste the quality.

These eggplants are amazing; you can tell they're organic and freshly harvested. I baked them, and they came out tender and full of flavor. A true gem from the Canary Islands!

I use it a lot to make stuffed or simply grilled with a drizzle of palm honey. It's incredibly light and easy on the digestion. You can tell it's a local, fresh product because it lasts much longer in the fridge than supermarket varieties.
