Beautiful purple and white streaks on the 5-7” oblong fruit. A stunning piece of fruit, these eggplants are a joy to look at. They are a thinner skinned with a lighter color and texture on the inside than a more standard variety, a beautiful addition to eggplant diversity!  De Gandia, means from Gandia, which is in Spain, but some historians believe this thin skinned lighter fleshed lineage originated in India and moved into Europe along the trade routes of ancient times.

    ✿ That means our seeds come from plants grown right here and have started the process of acclimating to this region, which makes them easier to grow.

    ✿ We aim to work our land in a way that honors our human and more-than-human kin in the water, soil, and air.
