EGGPLANT
Italian Eggplants
GALINE
Black Bell type. Very glossy, uniform, black fruits are 6-7” long by 3-4” in diameter.
Nadia
Traditional Black Italian eggplant - It is uniform 7-8 long and 3-4" diameter. It is probably our favorite of the traditional Italian because our Italian customers can't resist Nadia. It is dark purple , flossy, and blemish free.
Traviata
Traviata has the classical bell shape of the traditional Italian eggplant type. It has glossy black fruit and reall good flavor.
Asian Eggplants
Orient Charm
8-10" long by 1 1/2-2 1/2" diameter fruits of the Orient Express shape, but with attractive shades of fluorescent pink, pastel pink, and white.
Orient Express
Outstanding early productivity. Attractive, slender, 8-10", glossy black fruits in the long Oriental style. Tender, delicately flavored, and quick cooking.
Specialty Eggplants
BARBELLA
Barbarella is a round, dark purple Sicilian eggplant with excellent taste. The white
halo under the calyx is an indication of the tenderness in eggplant. It has a wonderfully dense white flesh, making it extra good for grilling.
BEATRICE
Beatrice is bright violet, round Italian eggplant that is similar in shape and flavor to Rosa Bianca. Creamy and mild, delicious.
DANCER/NEON
Dancer is deep pink Italian eggplant. It is midsize and looks good with Nadia and Nubia because they’re the same size with green Calyx -but with a remarkably different color. Dancer is mild, non-bitter and like Neon.
Paloma
Paloma's bell-shaped fruits have distinctive ribbing and mildly sweet flavor and creamy texture.
PROSPEROSA
This seems to steal the hearts of our chef customers. It is a large, round lavender - purple fruit that is as beautiful as it is tasty. Great in eggplant parmesan, creamy and non-bitter.
ROSA BIANCA
Simply delicious with a mild creamy taste. It is round, plump and streaked with white and violet and sometimes it is ribbed.
Mini Specialty Eggplants
CALLIOPE
Calliope has become a customer favorite. It is beautiful, small, oval, white and purple variegated Asian-style eggplant.
FAIRYTALE
We love this little eggplant and believe that if our customers tried it they would love it too. It is a gorgeous mini purple and white stripes with a wonderful flavor, NO bitterness and very few seeds. Quick cooking tender and sweet - great to grill.
GRETEL (WHITE)
Mini-white: Gretel is a solid white specialty mini eggplant that is a perfect companion to both Hansel and Fairytale. It is tender and bitter-free.
HANSEL
Mini-dark purple: Hansel is Gretel’s companion; solid dark purple, tender, non-bitter and perfect for grilling or slicing thin on pizza.
