| 65 days from setting out transplants. Discover the rich flavor and abundant yields of heirloom eggplants with this superb variety from Tuscany, Italy. A trusted favorite for generations, Prosperosa offers a new look and more sweet, mild flavor than today's hybrids can ever hope for. These deep violet fruits are round, with slight ribbing and a very glossy sheen. They arise in huge numbers on plants that just keep producing all season. If you've been used to a modern hybrid, get ready for a jolt of flavor AND yields! The flesh of this eggplant is white, sweet, and mild. Unlike most others, it won't immediately discolor upon cutting, which is nice if you're in the middle of a big lasagne or parmigiana bake and need some time to prepare other ingredients before using the slices! Although Prosperosa is good for frying and roasting, the best flavor seems to emerge when it is baked. Rich and mild, it is satisfyingly meaty, with a good bite. From its unusual round shape to its very heavy yields to its mouth-watering flavor, Prosperosa is simply better than most others we are used to. Make it your main eggplant crop of the season, and you won't be disappointed. Packet is 15 seeds. |
