Look for the true ‘Classic’ eggplant producing large, 4″ wide by 9″ long, teardrop shaped fruits of glossy, black-purple skin and tender flesh, and the finger-like, purple and white ‘Hansel’ and ‘Gretel’ varieties. Excellent growers for many Mediterranean dishes including eggplant parmesan, ratatouille, sautéed in pasta, grilled and diced fresh in salsas and relishes.
