What type of eggplants do you grow in your garden? There are so many varieties such as purple-and-white-striped, thin Japanese, and small Italian eggplant varieties. Did you know unlike the traditional purple pear shaped eggplants, they actually got their name from being white and egg shaped? Eggplant info is from saladcenter.com under Seasonal Produce. |

I mainly grow Black Beauty, and sometimes Ichiban, only because Black Beauty is not available. I like fried eggplant and eggplant parmesean, and Ichiban is not suited for that. Not too familiar with the green or white ones. |

I've never had a white eggplant, but from pictures, it looks just like an egg. Grew up eating the black beauty eggplants. I like my eggplant grilled with balsamic vinegar and a little bit of salt. Eggplant is also great with our KRAFT Sun-Dried Tomato dressing in the Harvest Ratatouille dish. |
