 Eggplant Little Fingers

       

(OP) Solanum melongena  Abundant long, slim, dark purple fruits six to eight inches in length is what this plant is highly regarded for. Fruits can be harvested when small and young, the size of your fingers!  Flavor is not affected if fruits are left on the vine to get larger. The sweet, mild taste is unsurpassable! Stir fry with your favorite oriental dishes!  Item # ss - 26
