EGGPLANT – Applegreen

$3.50

Tops for flavour

If there’s one thing about this brinjal variety that has everyone talking, it’s the taste. And yes, you eat it green! If you leave the fruits on the plant for too long, they will turn yellow, but will also lose that fabulous flavour that is its claim to fame. To add to your pleasure, the plants are resistant to mildew – good news if you’re living in an area with high humidity during the summer growing season.
