Asian Eggplant

Starlight · March 12, 2016

I am growing five different varieties this year of Asian eggplants. From the descriptions I have, looks like most are small and all but one are eaten when they are green except one that you eat before it turns yellow. That one I have no idea what the first color is.

Anybody else grown any Asian type eggplants? I've grown Black Beauty, a pink type and a white. I have never seen where you eat a green colored eggplant before. How do the Asian eggplants taste compared say Black Beauty, which is my favorite.

Also, do the Asian plants get flea beetles bad too?
