Derived from Asia, the eggplant which is often called the brinjal is a favourite breakfast dish in the west. It is extremely popular in the Middle East and Mediterranean. The black beauty is possibly the most common variety with a dark purple colour. The fruits are not as pear shaped as other varieties. It regularly has a stitched effect along the base, which whilst looking like a deformity does not affect the fruit.

The Gretel eggplant has a narrow oblong shape with thin skin that is glossy white. It has a large harvest window and can be eaten from the baby to fully mature stage, ranging anywhere from 8-25 centimetres. Young Gretel eggplants have very few seeds and even the fully grown versions remain sweet and tender. Its delicate skin may be left on as it imparts no bitterness, but rather a pleasant chewy texture. When sautéed, grilled or roasted the interior white flesh becomes creamy, sweet and nutty.

Originating from Asia, the long, thin fruits have a nice, delicate flavour. These come in an array of purples, greens and whites, and the fruit is prized for it’s tender, non-bitter flesh. They are best harvested young at around 10cm to 12cm.
