Grow mattu gulla brinjal as an ornamental, purely for its stunning color patterns. The way people notice and express amazement at its beauty is truly gratifying.

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.
