It looks just like the variety you get in the shops, and guess what? It is! But this classic beauty with its shiny black fruits tastes way better because you can pick it fresh and eat it right away. It’s a heritage vegetable variety that simply can’t be improved on, and it remains the most popular eggplant variety to this day.

How to Sow
Sow your seeds in spring after the last frosts, or get a head start on your crop by sowing in containers about two months earlier. You will only cover them with about 5mm of medium, so keep them moist.
How to Harvest
Pick your eggplants when they are shiny and black. When they lose their shine, they are overripe. Use a pair of scissors or secateurs, and leave a short piece of stem attached to the fruit.
