Eggplant: Long White
(Solanum melongena)

Eggplant is a popular solanaceous garden vegetable grown for its edible fruit. There are many varieties of this strong upright plant. Some produce fruits that are long and thin, some produce round fruits, and others large bell shaped fruit. The varieties range in color from white to purple to black. Eggplant is best when harvested young before the seeds begin to mature. It is cooked and eaten by itself or in savory dishes.

This variety was found in Indonesia and has been a staple eggplant at ECHO since 1987. The fruits are 20-25 cm long and solid white. They are normally consumed when white, ripe, and immature. The fruit on the plant will fade to yellow when completely mature for seed.
