Description

This early, fast-ripening globe-shaped eggplant was introduced to the US from China in the late 1970s. It it is called “seven leaf eggplant” because it was said to start blooming after only 7 leaves had developed. In any case, they grow quickly and are very productive in good soil. The plants themselves generally remain small, making them great for small gardens as well as short seasons. Their dark purple skin is rich in anthocyanins, and their dark purplish stems and leaves may help them resist pest infestations better than other varieties. And did we mention they are as delicious as they are beautiful? With buttery, firm flesh and a mellow flavor, this variety is perfect for grilling or using in any of your favorite recipes.
