Bought seeds for every brinjal variety, but this one steals my heart. Garden’s now an eggplant haven and my husband’s tired of eggplant dishes 😀
Aditya Kamath –
Not ideal for commercial purposes due to its medium yield, I strongly advocate for this eggplant, especially for health-conscious gardeners.
Pratiksha Sharma –
Absolutely delicious, especially when grilled just right. The plants are resilient against pests and diseases.

Sowed the seeds back in Oct 2023 in Nanital. Germination was solid, but growth slowed in the chilly weather. Kept pots indoors at night to shield them from the cold. Now, in mid-Jan, they’re flowering, with fruits emerging. They resemble the Kermit Eggplant I grew before. It’s amazing how many eggplant varieties there are—I keep discovering new ones!
