FREE: Chinese White Sword Eggplant

The listing, Chinese White Sword Eggplant has ended.

Tired of the same-old big purple eggplants? Here's your chance to try an interesting (different!) - and rare - Chinese heirloom eggplant.

Long, skinny, very straight, white fruits. These are great in stir fries, braises, and pickles...or they can be fried, stewed, baked, stuffed, roasted and pureed. Chef"s tip:white eggplants are particularly good for recipes like caponata or baba ganoush - where the white color results in a more appealing dish.

65 days to maturity

Did you know:
Eggplant is actually a fruit (like tomatoes)

Eggplants are native to the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayan area, and they have been cultivated in Southeast Asia since prehistoric times. Arabs brought eggplant to the Mediterranean area in the early Middle Ages.

The reason this fruit is called an "eggplant" is because the cultivars in the 18th century were white to pale yellow in color, and resembled hen's eggs.

This auction is for 10 seeds.
