How to stop your Aubergine perishing

We couldn’t help but notice, our aubergines were perishing way too quickly. So Laura did some research (she likes research!) It turns out that aubergines are NOT meant to be kept in the fridge - who knew?! This is what we found out:

AUBERGINE

Aubergines last longer when stored at room temperature rather than in the fridge. This retains its freshness and flavour.

Store them out of direct sunlight in a cupboard or a vegetable drawer.

Aubergines are sensitive to ethylene, a natural gas given off by some other produce, so store them away from tomatoes, bananas and Melon.
