Eggplant 'Black Beauty'

An open-pollinated Italian eggplant with high yields and no spines. Large bell-shaped fruits range from 1-3 lbs and have a slightly lobed skin. Medium to thick skin is deep purple, and glossy when mature.

Eggplants want full sun and very warm conditions for best production. Amend soil with plenty of compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Space plants 1.5 feet apart and water regularly.

Harvest when fruits are full size and slightly soft to the touch. Use in any of your favorite eggplant recipes. They are delicious in thick slices simply brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and herbs and baked, or go all out with the Eggplant Parmesan!
