Super straight, radiant fruit with gorgeous, glossy skin and beautiful, pink coloration.
Somewhat spineless, upright plants abundantly produce tender fruit that lacks bitterness. Fruit is straight, long and highly uniform with a pinkish-purple glow that creates a lovely contrast to bright green calyxes. Plants are highly prolific – an improved Asian-type for both the home gardener and commercial grower. From our partners at PanAmerican Seed.

Jenna, co-manager of La ferme coopérative aux champs qui chantent in Québec and High Mowing’s grower rep for Canada says: “Eggplant is very popular with our CSA customers, and personally I have always preferred the Asian-type eggplants. This will be our first year growing Violet Delite F1 along side other Asian-types we have grown in the past. The long slender fruit are beautiful and especially great for grilling. I also find the texture much more tender and enjoyable compared to many traditional Italian-style eggplants.”
