It is not very difficult to cook eggplant meal at home but it is not always possible to access to high-quality ingredients throughout the year. For this reason, we recommend you to use ChinChin eggplant meal which has been made of the best quality handpicked ingredients.
In addition, since ChinChin canned eggplant meal is produced under fully pasteurized, hygienic and standard conditions and has an expiration date of 2 years; it is not practically possible to provide such condition at home.
