Product Description

Aubergine Violetta Lunga 3 is an organically grown and fairly early, Italian aubergine variety which produces rather thin, dark purple fruits with a green stem. This variety has to be grown indoors in a greenhouse or hothouse, because it needs a lot of warmth and light to produce fruits. The fruits have a very delicious, soft and creamy deliciously flavoured flesh. Harvest the aubergines when they're about 8-10 cm in size and the skin is still very glossy.

Aubergine is a very versatile and healthy vegetable. Aubergine contains, among other things: vitamins B1, B2, B6, B11 and C. And the minerals: sodium, potassium, selenium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and zinc. And lots of dietary fibre, low in fat and carbohydrates and gluten. You can boil, fry, roast, cook in the oven, stir-fry, barbecue, grill, steam, deep-fry and stuff with, for example, minced meat or rice. Aubergine can also be used to make a delicious ratatouille, soup or mixed vegetable dish. Aubergine is very tasty in combination with: olive oil, cheese, onions, parsley, basil, potatoes, oregano, beef, lamb, chicken, minced beef, eggs, goat's cheese, red pepper, pork, coconut, garlic, cayenne pepper, pasta and vegetables such as peppers, lettuce, courgettes, tomatoes, peas and leeks. Non hardy annual.
