LISTADA DE GANDIA
One of the most popular heirloom types, this one has 7-inch long fruit that is white with lovely bright purple stripes. It is so beautiful and has a fabulous flavor with sweet, tender flesh. This excellent variety hails from Spain, a country that is renowned for fine food.
NAGAOKA KINCHAKU
A dark obsidian eggplant from Niigata Prefecture, Japan, an area famous for rice production. This prefecture is also known for its eggplant varieties, which are raised in the time between the planting and harvest of the region's main crop. Each of the eggplant varieties has their own uses. This variety, known as "Nagaoka purse eggplant," dates back to the middle of the Meiji era (1868-1912).This variety is known to be among the sweetest and is is traditionally steamed with a bit of ginger and soy sauce.
CHINESE STRING
This is the most slender, tender and best-tasting variety we have grown! This marvelous eggplant is so sweet it is even delicious raw in salads, and this buttery, tender East China variety is our top choice for doing just that! Very high-yielding plants produce profusions of 10-15-inch long fruit with lavender-violet skin and snowy white flesh. A superior choice for sautéing, grilling, and more!
THAI PURPLE RIBBED
This variety produces lovely, highly ribbed, plum-purple fruit that has a delicious, strong, rich eggplant flavor. Very productive and unique. Fun to grow and eat!
