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.

Absolutely delicious, especially when grilled just right. The plants are resilient against pests and diseases.
