Description
Black Beauty is the classic American eggplant — the large, glossy, deep purple variety you see in every grocery store and farmers market. Producing big, oval fruits with creamy white flesh, this time-tested variety has been a garden standard for over a century.
Perfect for eggplant parmesan, grilling, roasting, baba ganoush, ratatouille, and stir-fries. Harvest when the skin is still glossy and springs back when pressed for the best texture and least bitterness.
