Black King ~  A favorite that was developed in Japan. Very versatile for cooking, dark purple, a perfect variety for Eggplant Parmessian.

Pingtung ~ Very tender skin does not need to be peeled. Good tolerance to disease. Awesome on the grill! Originates from Taiwan.

Purple Blush ~ Oval 6" long and 4 1/2" wide fruits have an opalescent skin that is white blushed with purple or lavender. Especially sweet tasting fruits

Rosa Bianca ~A lovely Sicilian variety with light pink fruite streaked with white and violet. Mild, creamy taste with no bitterness and very low number of seeds.

Rosita ~ The fruits have glowing, lavender-rose skin and sweet, white flesh. The flavor is very mild, making it perfect for all sorts of recipes. An heirloom eggplant developed in Puerto Rico in 1944.

Snowy Long ~ Elegant snow-white eggplant with a medium to thick skin and delicate sweet flavor. Snowy’s texture is firmer and meatier than most, holding up well in cooking.
