Item Details

Listada de Gandia is a treasure. This prized variety bears sweet, tender, thin-skinned, stunning eggplant. It likely originated in Spain (its name translates as “Grown in Spain”), where it is still revered today. The small 14" plants produce heavy yields of high-quality, 8" oval white fruits with purple stripes and mild white flesh. The variety thrives in very hot weather. 80-90 days from transplant. ±5,600 seeds/oz.

Really tasty heavy producer

by

This was a very heavy producer once it got going (the Asian style long eggplants were first to crop), with 6-10 fruit per plant at a time. The eggplants for this variety were best at 6-8 inches, still tender and not bitter. Much bigger than that and they get a bit too seedy, and they can get quite big! We roasted them, made dip, and also pickled Italian style.

Surprising and tasty!

by

I started this plant late last summer and just harvested my first two eggplants. They were smaller than I anticipated, about 5-6", but very tasty. Now there are about 7 or 8 more growing. Another surprise is that the one I have growing in a pot is about 4 feet tall.

Heavy producer

So much fruit! I almost had a hard time keeping ahead for my 1 plant. Beware of the time on the internet researching different ways to use eggplants.
