Graffiti eggplants are stunning with their purple stripes. They taste similar to a globe eggplant but have small seeds, thinner skin with no bitterness in the flesh.

Japanese eggplants are long and narrow with a deep purple color and thin skin. They are sweet and tender and contain few seeds which means no bitterness.

Chinese eggplants look similar to a Japanese eggplant, but they have a bright, almost neon purple color. They have thin skin, and their flesh is very creamy when cooked. Chinese and Japanese eggplants are fantastic grilled or in stir fries.

Paloma eggplants are a beautiful white color. They have thin skin bruise easily during shipping so you will usually only find them from local growers. Palomas have a mildly sweet flavor and creamy texture.
