Graffiti eggplant is quoted at $29.00 / 10LB case in the week of September 7, 2026.

About Graffiti eggplant
Eggplant reaches New York on two supply lines at once: a steady protected-culture flow out of Honduras and the Netherlands, and a field crop that moves from Florida and Mexico in the cold months to Georgia, the Carolinas, New Jersey and the Hudson Valley when the Northeast is cutting. Italian, Japanese, graffiti and Holland types are different plants sold under one heading and they do not substitute for one another in a kitchen. Eggplant marks and bruises easily and does not improve in storage, which is why the trade buys it in small cases.
Buying notes
Nearly every line here is a ten pound case; the standard globe is the exception and is ordered by count, with a half case and a single-count also carried. Because the skin marks so easily, it is worth checking condition on arrival rather than ordering long and holding.
