Phonetically pronounced:
Pala 49 eggplant produces dark purple, almost black and long fruits with a curve at blossom end. Flavorful, multi-purpose fruits can be used for stews, jams as well as in stuffing and pickling recipes.
When we used to farm in Florida, we noticed that the fruits of Pala 49 developed on higher branches without touching ground so that they didn’t rot in wet soil conditions. This is a mid-season Turkish eggplant.
Our current seed stock was grown by the farmers at Sprouting Farms.
