The listing, Japanese Eggplant 100 Seeds!!!! has ended.
Is this eggplant looking a little scrawny to you this season? Don’t worry, it’s supposed to look like that.
That’s because it’s Japanese eggplant, which is becoming increasingly common at farmers’ markets and is typically longer, thinner and a bit more corkscrew-shaped than the eggplant you may be used to. And while it may look strange, it still shares the same nutritional benefits that have made the purple plant a popular mealtime choice.
The food: It’s cooked like a vegetable, but eggplant is actually a fruit (it’s part of the same nightshade family that includes the other confusing is-it-a-fruit-or-a-vegetable plant, the tomato). In the U.S., eggplant tends to appear mostly in Italian or Mediterranean dishes, but Southern and Southeast Asian cuisines have long incorporated the fruit as well. Japanese eggplant is noticeably less plump than its more familiar pear-shaped cousin, and it’s in season from July to October.
I made a mistake and didn't check my eggplant so I have over-ripe seed laden fruit and I figure I'll offer the seeds to you Listians. Good Luck!!!
Once the bidding goes past 1,000 credits 5 random squash seeds will be thrown in. Woo hoo and Good luck!
