Aswad eggplant

Solanum melongena

The 'Aswad' eggplant is an heirloom variety prized for itsdeep purple skin and a rich, mildly sweet flavor.

This cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soils with consistent moisture.

In addition to being productive in warm climates, ‘Aswad’ exhibits some tolerance to heat stress, making it a reliable choice for summer harvests. Like other eggplants, it benefits from staking or caging to support the heavy fruit load.
