Eggplant is tricky. Because of its soft flesh and plentiful tiny seeds inside, it’s difficult to spiralize.

Eggplant is tricky. Because of its soft flesh and plentiful tiny seeds inside, it’s difficult to spiralize. When you load the eggplant into a spiralizer (first making sure to slice the ends off and then chop in half) and pop in Blade C, you’ll notice immediately upon cranking the handle that the eggplant resists.
