Enjoy faster harvests and tender, delicate flavor with the Long Purple Eggplant! Also known as a Japanese or Asian eggplant, this variety produces beautiful, slender fruits that mature much earlier than the large globe varieties.
Our pure, untreated seeds guarantee an incredibly prolific harvest. Because of their thin skins, they do not require peeling and are naturally sweeter and less bitter than traditional eggplants. They are the ultimate choice for Asian stir-fries, roasting, and grilling.

The extremely thin skin is tender and delicious, saving you prep time in the kitchen.
