Nagasaki Eggplant

The Nagasaki Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is a highly prized Japanese heirloom variety known for its long, slender shape and deep Black glossy  skin.

This unique eggplant stands out for its mild sweet flavor and tender creamy texture when cooked. Unlike traditional eggplants the Nagasaki variety has a thin edible skin and fewer seeds making it perfect for grilled recipes. It absorbs flavors well and remains delightfully soft when cooked.

The Nagasaki Eggplant is a excellent choice for gardeners looking for its impressive tolerance to heat and humidity, productive, and easy-to-grow variety.
