Eggplant - Ping Tung Long
I got these seeds from SeedsNow. Ping Tung comes from Taiwan. The 3-4 foot tall plants produce a high yield of long narrow eggplants measuring 1-2 inches wide by up to 18 inches long. Support the plants to allow the eggplants to grow straight for longer eggplants, otherwise they will bend and then you won't get the extra length. These eggplants are lavender purple colored and average 8 ounces per eggplant. Each plant can produce 10-20 eggplants on average. This variety is prized for never getting bitter. The white flesh is sweet, creamy, and tender, the thin skin does not need to be peeled, and you won't need to salt or sweat this one! A good option for container gardening, these plants have a good deal of disease resistance. Use Ping Tung to make baba ganoush, or saute.
