Egg Plant-Mizuno Takumi Japanese

Solanum melongena

It’s a shiny purplish fruit well known for its fleshy and tender skin. Most people enjoy it by cooking or pickling. Commonly found in Japan as we can see from its name. It’s a good source of dietary fibers and helps in indigestion, rich in vitamin C and minerals like potassium, manganese and folate. These really love our Summers here in Tampa.  Although much smaller (1/2lb), these make a great heat tolerant replacement for the classic black beauty. If you want eggplants throughout the summer, and eggplant parmesan is your favorite eggplant dish, this is the one for you

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
