Seeds of Ethiopian red ribbed eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum) — 5 pcs

Ethiopian Red Ribbed Eggplant, Red Miniature Pumpkin Eggplant, Hmong Eggplant, Pumpkin on a Stick

Mid-season, decorative, but at the same time edible exotic variety. Plant 60-90 cm high.

The fruits are collected in clusters of 6-7 or more pieces with a continuous growth of new ones. The fruits are round, ribbed, at technical ripeness they are first green, then bright yellow and finally red. Compared to traditional eggplants, the pulp of the fruit is softer and sweeter, reminiscent of a tomato, without bitterness.

It is necessary to consume when they are technically green or when they are just beginning to change their color to orange! It is important. Ripe fruits cannot be eaten - they are bitter.

There is no need to pick the fruits for decoration; leave them on the bush until they are completely ripe. Then cut them together with the shoots and you will get bright “pumpkins on a stick” that can be placed in a vase or used for decoration.
