Eggplant season has arrived, and it’s time for this summer veggie to shine! The hearty texture makes eggplant a favorite ingredient in everything from baba ganoush to veggie lasagna. It also holds up beautifully on the grill, so it’s perfect for kebabs, sandwiches, or skewers. There truly are endless ways to make eggplant the star of your summer meals! This time of year, you’ll find a wide variety at the market, including deep purple Italian eggplant, slender Asian varieties, and striped heirlooms (pictured above). Find your favorite variety at the market this weekend!

Have you tried Buddha’s Brew Kombucha yet?

Or, try their Sparkling Water Kefir for something fizzy and hydrating.

Brewed in small batches at a creekside greenbelt brewery right here in Austin, Buddha’s Brew will make both your gut and your taste buds happy. Come sip at both Bell and Mueller markets—pro tip: try mixing flavors when you fill up your reusable bottle or growler!
