<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2>2200 Seeds Medium Long Eggplant</h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Price for Package of 2200 seeds (10g).</span></strong></span></h2> <div>Early medium maturing variety, tolerant to heat and humidity, vigorous growth, strong diseases resistance, long harvest period, long straight fruit, beautiful shape, glossy purple skin, good quality, extremly high yield, each fruit is about 28-35 cm in length, 4.5-6 cm in diameter, 250-400g in weight.</div> <div>The eggplant, brinjal eggplant, aubergine, melongene, brinjal or guinea squash (Solanum melongena) is a plant of the family Solanaceae (also known as the nightshades) and genus Solanum. It bears a fruit of the same name, commonly used in cooking. As a nightshade, it is closely related to the tomato and potato. It was domesticated in India from Solanum incanum.</div> <div>It is a delicate perennial often cultivated as an annual. It grows 40 to 150 cm (16 to 57 in) tall, with large, coarsely lobed leaves that are 10 to 20 cm (4–8 in) long and 5 to 10 cm (2–4 in) broad. Semiwild types can grow much larger, to 225 cm (7 ft) with large leaves over 30 cm (12 in) long and 15 cm (6 in) broad. The stem is often spiny. The flower is white to purple, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens. The fruit is fleshy, has a meaty texture. It is less than 3 cm (1.2 in) in diameter on wild plants, but much larger in cultivated forms.</div> <div>The fruit is botanically classified as a berry and contains numerous small, soft seeds which are edible, but have a bitter taste because they contain nicotinoid alkaloids; this is unsurprising as it is a close relative of tobacco.</div> <div>History</div> <div>The plant is native to the Indian Subcontinent.[1][2] It has been cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory,[citation needed] but appears to have become known to the Western world no earlier than circa 1500. The first known written record of the plant is found in Qí mín yào shù, an ancient Chinese agricultural treatise completed in 544.[4] The numerous Arabic and North African names for it, along with the lack of the ancient Greek and Roman names, indicate it was introduced throughout the Mediterranean area by the Arabs in the early Middle Ages. The specific name melongena is derived from a 16th-century Arabic term for one variety.</div> <div>The name "aubergine" is from the French, a diminutive of auberge, a variant of alberge, ‘a kind of peach’ or from the Spanish alberchigo or alverchiga, ‘an apricocke’.[5] It may be also be derived from Catalan albergínia, from Arabic al-baðinjān from Persian bâdenjân, from Sanskrit vātiga-gama).</div> <div>Aubergine is also the name of the purple color resembling that of the fruit,[5] and is a commonly known color scheme[6] applied to articles as diverse as cloth or bathroom suites.</div> <div>The popular name "eggplant" is used in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It derives from the fruits of some 18th-century European cultivars which were yellow or white and resembled goose or hen's eggs.[7] In Indian native languages Hindi and Urdu, it is called "Baingan"or"Baigan".[8]</div> <div>In Indian, South African, Malaysian and Singaporean English, the fruit is called baigan brinjal, being derived directly from the Portuguese beringela. A less common British English word is melongene, which is also from French (derived) from Italian melanzana from Greek μελιτζάνα. In the Caribbean Trinidad, it also goes by meloongen from melongene.</div> <div>Because of the plant's relationship with the Solanaceae (nightshade) family, the fruit was at one time believed to be extremely poisonous. The flowers and leaves, though, can be poisonous if consumed in large quantities, due to the presence of solanine.[9]</div> <div>Cooking  </div> <div>The raw fruit can have a somewhat bitter taste, but becomes tender when cooked and develops a rich, complex flavor. Many recipes advise salting, rinsing and draining of the sliced fruit (known as "degorging"), to soften it and to reduce the amount of fat absorbed during cooking, but mainly to remove the bitterness of the earlier cultivars. Some modern varieties - including large, purple varieties commonly imported into western Europe - do not need this treatment. The fruit is capable of absorbing large amounts of cooking fats and sauces, making for very rich dishes, but salting reduces the amount of oil absorbed. The fruit flesh is smooth; as in the related tomato, the numerous seeds are soft and edible along with the rest of the fruit. The thin skin is also edible.</div> <div>The plant is used in the cuisine of many countries. It is often stewed, as in the French ratatouille, or deep fried as in the Italian parmigiana di melanzane, the Turkish karnıyarık or Turkish and Greek musakka/moussaka, and Middle-Eastern and South Asian dishes. Eggplants can also be battered before deep-frying and served with a sauce made of tahini and tamarind. In Iranian cuisine, it can be blended with whey as kashk e-bademjan, tomatoes as mirza ghasemi or made into stew as khoresh-e-bademjan. It can be sliced and deep-fried, then served with plain yogurt, (optionally) topped with a tomato and garlic sauce, such as in the Turkish dish patlıcan kızartması (meaning: fried aubergines) or without yogurt as in patlıcan şakşuka. Perhaps the best-known Turkish eggplant dishes are İmam bayıldı (vegetarian) and Karnıyarık (with minced meat).</div> <div>It may also be roasted in its skin until charred, so the pulp can be removed and blended with other ingredients, such as lemon, tahini, and garlic, as in the Middle Eastern baba ghanoush and the similar Greek melitzanosalata. Grilled, mashed and mixed with onions, tomatoes and spices make the Indian and Pakistani dish baingan ka Bhartha or gojju, similar to salată de vinete in Romania, while a mix of roasted eggplant, roasted red peppers, chopped onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, celery and spices is called zacuscă in Romania or ajvar in Croatia and the Balkans. A simpler version of the dish, baigan-pora (eggplant-charred or burnt), is very popular in the east Indian states of Orissa and Bengal, and Bangladesh where the pulp of vegetable is mixed with raw chopped onions, green chillies, salt and mustard oil. Sometimes fried whole tomatoes and burnt potatoes are also added which is called baigan bharta. A Spanish dish called escalivada calls for strips of roasted aubergine, sweet pepper, onion and tomato. In Spain, is typical to find eggplant as berenjenas de Almagro. There, eggplants are also cooked with vinegar, red peppers, paprika and olive oil.</div> <div>The fruit can also be hollowed out and stuffed with meat, rice, or other fillings, and then baked. In the Caucasus, for example, it is fried and stuffed with walnut paste to make nigvziani badrijani. It can also be found in Chinese cuisine, braised (紅燒茄子), stewed (魚香茄子), steamed (凉拌茄子), or stuffed (釀茄子).</div> <div>As a native plant, it is widely used in Indian cuisine, for example in sambhar, dalma (a dal preparation with vegetables, native to Orissa), chutney, curry, and achaar. Owing to its versatile nature and wide use in both everyday and festive Indian food, it is often described (under the name brinjal) as the "king of vegetables". In one dish[which?], brinjal is stuffed with ground coconut, peanuts, and masala, and then cooked in oil.</div> <div>Cultivation</div> <div>In tropical and subtropical climates, eggplant can be sown directly into the garden. Eggplant grown in temperate climates fares better when transplanted into the garden after all danger of frost is passed. Seeds are typically started eight to 10 weeks prior to the anticipated frost-free date.</div> <div>Many pests and diseases which afflict other solanaceous plants, such as tomato, pepper (capsicum), and potato, are also troublesome to eggplants. For this reason, it should not be planted in areas previously occupied by its close relatives. Four years should separate successive crops of eggplants. Common North American pests include the potato beetles, flea beetles, aphids, and spider mites. (Adults can be removed by hand, though flea beetles can be especially difficult to control.) Good sanitation and crop rotation practices are extremely important for controlling fungal disease, the most serious of which is Verticillium.</div> <div>Spacing should be 45 cm (18 in.) to 60 cm (24 in.) between plants, depending on cultivar, and 60 cm to 90 cm (24 to 36 in.) between rows, depending on the type of cultivation equipment being used. Mulching will help conserve moisture and prevent weeds and fungal diseases. The flowers are relatively unattractive to bees and the first blossoms often do not set fruit. Hand pollination will improve the set of the first blossoms. Fruits are typically cut from the vine just above the calyx owing to the somewhat woody stems. Flowers are complete, containing both female and male structures, and may be self-pollinated or cross-pollinated.</div> <div> <p><em><strong>Health properties</strong></em></p> </div> <table cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Eggplant, raw</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Energy</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">102 kJ (24 kcal)</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Carbohydrates</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">5.7 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>- </strong><strong>Sugars</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">2.35 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>- </strong><strong>Dietary fiber</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">3.4 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Fat</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">0.19 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Protein</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">1.01 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color: #008000;">Thiamine (vit.

Aşılı bitkiler çok kuvvetlidir ve kök sistemini etkileyen hastalıkları tolere eder, böylece mahsulün bir yıl daha devam etmesine izin verir.</p> <p>Hindi meyvesi, dikenli nighthade, shoo-shoo çalı, yabani patlıcan, bezelye patlıcan, bezelye patlıcan, susumber (Jamaika), boo, terongan, tekokak, berenjena cimarrona, berenjena de gallina, berenjena silvestre, tabacón, pendejera, tomatillo, bâtard balengène, zamorette, friega-platos, kudanekayi (Kannada: ಕುದನೆಕಾಯಿ), sundaikkai (Tamil: சுண்டைக்காய்), [3] (Malayalam: ചുണ്ട), thibbatu (Sinhala), makhuea phuang (Tay dili: พวงอพวง), suzume nasu ( Japonya: 雀 茄子), jurubeba (Brezilya Portekizcesi) ve diğer birçok isim (Howard 1989, Little ve diğerleri 1974, Pasifik Ada Ekosistemleri Risk Altında 2001).</p> <p>Bitki genellikle 2 veya 3 m yüksekliğinde ve 2 cm bazal çapındadır, ancak 5 m yüksekliğinde ve 8 cm bazal çapında olabilir. Çalı genellikle zemin seviyesinde tek bir gövdeye sahiptir, ancak alt gövdede dallanabilir. Kök kabuğu gri ve yükseltilmiş mercimeklerle neredeyse pürüzsüz. İç kabuk fildişi rengi üzerinde yeşil bir tabakaya sahiptir (Little ve diğerleri 1974). Yazar tarafından incelenen, sert topraklarda yetişen bitkiler, zayıf tarotlara ve iyi gelişmiş yanlara sahipti. Kökler beyazdır. Yeşillik büyüyen dallarla sınırlıdır.</p> <p>Dallar gri-yeşil ve yıldız şeklindeki kıllarla kaplıdır. Dikenler kısa ve hafifçe kavislidir ve yaprak ortalığı da dahil olmak üzere bitki boyunca kalınlıktan tamamen yokluğa kadar değişir. Yapraklar zıt veya düğüm başına birdir, sınırın tamamı veya derin bir şekilde loblanmış olarak genişçe ovaldir. Yaprak sapları 1 ila 6 cm uzunluğunda ve bıçaklar 7 ila 23 x 5 ila 18 cm arasındadır ve kısa kıllarla kaplıdır. Çiçekler beyaz, 5 sivri loblu tübülerdir ve corymbiform cymes içinde gruplandırılmıştır. Açıldıktan kısa bir süre sonra dökülürler.</p> <p>Meyveler, yeşil bezelye gibi görünen küçük yeşil küre kümelerinde (yaklaşık 1 cm çapında) büyüyen meyvelerdir. Tamamen olgunlaştıklarında sarı olurlar. İnce etlidirler ve çok sayıda düz, yuvarlak, kahverengi tohum içerirler (Howard 1989, Liogier 1995, Little ve diğerleri 1974).</p> <p>Aralık</p> <p>Türkiye meyvesi, Florida ve güney Alabama'dan Batı Hint Adaları ve Meksika'dan Orta Amerika ve Güney Amerika'dan Brezilya'ya kadar yereldir (Little ve diğerleri 1974). Bozulmuş topraklarda yabani ot olarak hızlı yayılması nedeniyle, hangi popülasyonların yerli ve hangilerinin tanıtıldığını söylemek zordur. Türkiye meyvesi tropikal Afrika, Asya, Avustralya ve Hawaii, Guam ve Amerikan Samoası (Risk 2001'de Pasifik Ada Ekosistemleri) dahil olmak üzere Pasifik Adaları'nda tanıtıldı ve doğallaştırıldı. Jamaika'da bu meyveye susumba veya kuru fasulye denir ve genellikle tuzlu balık ve ackee ile birlikte bir tabakta pişirilir. Demir ile dolu olduğuna inanılır (yenildiğinde güçlü bir demir gibi tadı vardır) ve demir düşük olduğunda tüketilir.</p> <p>Ekoloji</p> <p>Porto Riko'da hindi meyvesi, yıllık yaklaşık 1000 ila 4000 mm yağış alan yüksek arazilerde yetişir.

Rahatsızlıktan sonra eşit bir başlangıç ​​yapıldığında, hindi meyvesi çoğu bitki, ot ve diğer çalıların üstesinden hızla geçer. Tam güneş ışığında en iyi şekilde büyür ve günün bir kısmında hafif gölgede veya gölgede iyi sonuç verir, ancak kapalı bir orman gölgelik altında hayatta kalamaz. Türkiye, tek bitki, grup ve çalılıkları en çok yol kenarlarında, boş arazilerde, fırçalanmış meralarda, yakın zamanda terk edilmiş tarım arazilerinde, toprak kaymalarında ve nehir kıyılarında görülür.</p> <p>üreme</p> <p>Çalılıklar yaklaşık 1 ila 1,5 m yüksekliğe ulaştıktan sonra çiçeklenme ve meyve verme süreklidir. Porto Riko'da toplanan olgun meyveler ortalama 1.308 + 0.052 g idi. Bu meyvelerden hava ile kuru tohumlar ortalama 0.00935 g veya 1.070.000 tohum / kg ağırlığındaydı. Bu tohumlar ticari saksı karışımına ekilmiş ve ekimden sonraki 13 ila 106 gün arasında yüzde 60'ı filizlenmiştir. Fideler son zamanlarda rahatsız olmuş zeminlerde yaygındır. Tutumlu kuşlar meyveleri yerler ve tohumları yayarlar (Pasifik Adası Ekosistemleri Risk Altında 2001).

<h2><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">African eggplant Seeds (Solanum aethiopicum)</span></em></strong></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 seeds.</strong></span></h3> <p>African eggplants of the Kumba group have a depressed globular shape with deep furrows and range from 5-15 centimeters in diameter. The fruit may be harvested green, white or even red, and the leaves are occasionally eaten as a sautéed vegetable as well. This variety is firm and bitter and best stewed or pickled.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Current Facts</strong></p> <p>African eggplants are botanically classified as Solanum aethiopicum and also commonly known as Mock Tomato, Bitter Tomato, Ethiopian nightshade and Scarlet Eggplant. They range widely in color and shape depending upon the cultivar and are divided into four groups: Gilo, Shum, Kumba and Aculeatum. This particular variety of African eggplant is of the Kumba Group.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Nutritional Value</strong></p> <p>African eggplant leaves are rich on beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, iron and calcium. The fruits bitter taste is attributed to furostanol glycosides (saponins).</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Applications</strong></p> <p>The leaves and young shoots of the African eggplant are just as important as the fruits themselves. Containing most of the plant’s nutritional value, they are used in soups, stews, sautés and even pickled. The inherent bitterness of the African eggplant is complimented by slightly sweet flavors, rich proteins and smoked meats. They take well to strong flavors of curry or long braises in a simple blend of oil and garlic. Pair the leaves and fruits in recipes that include nutty cheeses such as parmesan, ham, bacon, sausage, caramelized onions or mushrooms, sweet potatoes, beans and peanuts.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Ethnic - Cultural Info</strong></p> <p>A similar eggplant variety found in Brazil is referred to as jiló, and often breaded in cornmeal and fried, like green tomatoes in American Southern cuisine.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Geography - History</strong></p> <p>African eggplants are grown predominantly in their native home of Africa, specifically in Central and West Africa. They have since been introduced into the Caribbean and South America and are even grown in some of the warmer climates of southern Italy.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Propagation</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Basic requirements</strong></p> <p>Growth requirements for African eggplant vary with variety. All types grow best in full sun in well-draining, deep soils with a pH between 5.5 and 6.8. Gilo types grow best at daytime temperatures between 25 and 35°C (77 and 95°F). Kumba types can grow in hotter temperatures of up to 45°C in low humidity, whereas Shum types require warm and humid conditions in order to thrive. No varieties of African eggplant tolerate very cold or water-logged conditions.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Growing from seed</strong></p> <p>African eggplant seeds can be collected from fully ripe fruits. Once the seeds have been extracted, they should be laid out on a piece paper to dry in a place where they are not exposed to direct sunlight. Once dry, seeds can be stored for many years and still remain viable. Seeds should be planted in a prepared nursery bed and should be sown 15 cm (6 in) apart with a further 20 cm (8 in) between rows. Seedlings are ready for transplanting when they reach 15 to 20 cm (6–8 in) in height and have 5–7 leaves. Plants should be hardened prior to transplanting by gradually reducing the amount of water they receive. Plants should be spaced 50 cm (20 in) apart allowing 75 cm (30 in) between rows.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>General care and maintenance</strong></p> <p>African eggplants will benefit from frequent irrigation during the dry season, particularly when fruiting, to ensure high yields. The crop should be weeded as required to prevent competition. Addition of fertilizer in the form of cattle or chicken or cattle manure or compost will improve yields.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Harvesting</strong></p> <p>African eggplant is typically ready for harvest 100 to 120 days after planting. The fruit should be harvested before the skin changes color from white to pale yellow when the skin becomes tough. Fruits should be harvested regularly to encourage maximum fruit production. Young leaves may be harvested from 45-60 days of growth.</p>

<h2><strong>Ronde De Valence Eggplant Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for a Package of 30 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Lovely, black fruit are almost perfectly round in shape and the size of a grapefruit, with deep purple color. A wonderful variety for stuffing, with great-tasting, tender flesh. A traditional French heirloom named after the city of Valence, a quaint city on the Rhone River.</p> <p>The eggplant, brinjal eggplant, aubergine, melongene, brinjal or guinea squash (Solanum melongena) is a plant of the family Solanaceae (also known as the nightshades) and genus Solanum. It bears a fruit of the same name, commonly used in cooking. As a nightshade, it is closely related to the tomato and potato. It was domesticated in India from Solanum incanum.</p> <p>It is a delicate perennial often cultivated as an annual. It grows 40 to 150 cm (16 to 57 in) tall, with large, coarsely lobed leaves that are 10 to 20 cm (4–8 in) long and 5 to 10 cm (2–4 in) broad. Semiwild types can grow much larger, to 225 cm (7 ft) with large leaves over 30 cm (12 in) long and 15 cm (6 in) broad. The stem is often spiny. The flower is white to purple, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens. The fruit is fleshy, has a meaty texture. It is less than 3 cm (1.2 in) in diameter on wild plants, but much larger in cultivated forms.</p> <p>The fruit is botanically classified as a berry and contains numerous small, soft seeds which are edible, but have a bitter taste because they contain nicotinoid alkaloids; this is unsurprising as it is a close relative of tobacco.</p> <p><strong>History</strong></p> <p>The plant is native to the Indian Subcontinent.[1][2] It has been cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory,[citation needed] but appears to have become known to the Western world no earlier than circa 1500. The first known written record of the plant is found in Qí mín yào shù, an ancient Chinese agricultural treatise completed in 544.[4] The numerous Arabic and North African names for it, along with the lack of the ancient Greek and Roman names, indicate it was introduced throughout the Mediterranean area by the Arabs in the early Middle Ages. The specific name melongena is derived from a 16th-century Arabic term for one variety.</p> <p>The name "aubergine" is from the French, a diminutive of auberge, a variant of alberge, ‘a kind of peach’ or from the Spanish alberchigo or alverchiga, ‘an apricocke’.[5] It may be also be derived from Catalan albergínia, from Arabic al-baðinjān from Persian bâdenjân, from Sanskrit vātiga-gama).</p> <p>Aubergine is also the name of the purple color resembling that of the fruit,[5] and is a commonly known color scheme[6] applied to articles as diverse as cloth or bathroom suites.</p> <p>The popular name "eggplant" is used in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It derives from the fruits of some 18th-century European cultivars which were yellow or white and resembled goose or hen's eggs.[7] In Indian native languages Hindi and Urdu, it is called "Baingan"or"Baigan".[8]</p> <p>In Indian, South African, Malaysian and Singaporean English, the fruit is called baigan brinjal, being derived directly from the Portuguese beringela. A less common British English word is melongene, which is also from French (derived) from Italian melanzana from Greek μελιτζάνα. In the Caribbean Trinidad, it also goes by meloongen from melongene.</p> <p>Because of the plant's relationship with the Solanaceae (nightshade) family, the fruit was at one time believed to be extremely poisonous. The flowers and leaves, though, can be poisonous if consumed in large quantities, due to the presence of solanine.[9]</p> <p><strong>Cooking  </strong></p> <p>The raw fruit can have a somewhat bitter taste, but becomes tender when cooked and develops a rich, complex flavor. Many recipes advise salting, rinsing and draining of the sliced fruit (known as "degorging"), to soften it and to reduce the amount of fat absorbed during cooking, but mainly to remove the bitterness of the earlier cultivars. Some modern varieties - including large, purple varieties commonly imported into western Europe - do not need this treatment. The fruit is capable of absorbing large amounts of cooking fats and sauces, making for very rich dishes, but salting reduces the amount of oil absorbed. The fruit flesh is smooth; as in the related tomato, the numerous seeds are soft and edible along with the rest of the fruit. The thin skin is also edible.</p> <p>The plant is used in the cuisine of many countries. It is often stewed, as in the French ratatouille, or deep fried as in the Italian parmigiana di melanzane, the Turkish karnıyarık or Turkish and Greek musakka/moussaka, and Middle-Eastern and South Asian dishes. Eggplants can also be battered before deep-frying and served with a sauce made of tahini and tamarind. In Iranian cuisine, it can be blended with whey as kashk e-bademjan, tomatoes as mirza ghasemi or made into stew as khoresh-e-bademjan. It can be sliced and deep-fried, then served with plain yogurt, (optionally) topped with a tomato and garlic sauce, such as in the Turkish dish patlıcan kızartması (meaning: fried aubergines) or without yogurt as in patlıcan şakşuka. Perhaps the best-known Turkish eggplant dishes are İmam bayıldı (vegetarian) and Karnıyarık (with minced meat).</p> <p>It may also be roasted in its skin until charred, so the pulp can be removed and blended with other ingredients, such as lemon, tahini, and garlic, as in the Middle Eastern baba ghanoush and the similar Greek melitzanosalata. Grilled, mashed and mixed with onions, tomatoes and spices make the Indian and Pakistani dish baingan ka Bhartha or gojju, similar to salată de vinete in Romania, while a mix of roasted eggplant, roasted red peppers, chopped onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, celery and spices is called zacuscă in Romania or ajvar in Croatia and the Balkans. A simpler version of the dish, baigan-pora (eggplant-charred or burnt), is very popular in the east Indian states of Orissa and Bengal, and Bangladesh where the pulp of vegetable is mixed with raw chopped onions, green chillies, salt and mustard oil. Sometimes fried whole tomatoes and burnt potatoes are also added which is called baigan bharta. A Spanish dish called escalivada calls for strips of roasted aubergine, sweet pepper, onion and tomato. In Spain, is typical to find eggplant as berenjenas de Almagro. There, eggplants are also cooked with vinegar, red peppers, paprika and olive oil.</p> <p>The fruit can also be hollowed out and stuffed with meat, rice, or other fillings, and then baked. In the Caucasus, for example, it is fried and stuffed with walnut paste to make nigvziani badrijani. It can also be found in Chinese cuisine, braised (紅燒茄子), stewed (魚香茄子), steamed (凉拌茄子), or stuffed (釀茄子).</p> <p>As a native plant, it is widely used in Indian cuisine, for example in sambhar, dalma (a dal preparation with vegetables, native to Orissa), chutney, curry, and achaar. Owing to its versatile nature and wide use in both everyday and festive Indian food, it is often described (under the name brinjal) as the "king of vegetables". In one dish[which?], brinjal is stuffed with ground coconut, peanuts, and masala, and then cooked in oil.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation</strong></p> <p>In tropical and subtropical climates, eggplant can be sown directly into the garden. Eggplant grown in temperate climates fares better when transplanted into the garden after all danger of frost is passed. Seeds are typically started eight to 10 weeks prior to the anticipated frost-free date.</p> <p>Many pests and diseases which afflict other solanaceous plants, such as tomato, pepper (capsicum), and potato, are also troublesome to eggplants. For this reason, it should not be planted in areas previously occupied by its close relatives. Four years should separate successive crops of eggplants. Common North American pests include the potato beetles, flea beetles, aphids, and spider mites. (Adults can be removed by hand, though flea beetles can be especially difficult to control.) Good sanitation and crop rotation practices are extremely important for controlling fungal disease, the most serious of which is Verticillium.</p> <p>Spacing should be 45 cm (18 in.) to 60 cm (24 in.) between plants, depending on cultivar, and 60 cm to 90 cm (24 to 36 in.) between rows, depending on the type of cultivation equipment being used. Mulching will help conserve moisture and prevent weeds and fungal diseases. The flowers are relatively unattractive to bees and the first blossoms often do not set fruit. Hand pollination will improve the set of the first blossoms. Fruits are typically cut from the vine just above the calyx owing to the somewhat woody stems. Flowers are complete, containing both female and male structures, and may be self-pollinated or cross-pollinated.</p> <div> <p><em><strong>Health properties</strong></em></p> </div> <table cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <p align="center"><span><strong>Eggplant, raw</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top"> <p align="center"><span><strong>Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)</strong></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span><strong>Energy</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span>102 kJ (24 kcal)</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span><strong>Carbohydrates</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span>5.7 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span><strong>- </strong><strong>Sugars</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span>2.35 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span><strong>- </strong><strong>Dietary fiber</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span>3.4 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span><strong>Fat</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span>0.19 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span><strong>Protein</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span>1.01 g</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p><span>Thiamine (vit.

It can be sliced and deep-fried, then served with plain yogurt, (optionally) topped with a tomato and garlic sauce, such as in the Turkish dish patlıcan kızartması (meaning: fried aubergines) or without yogurt as in patlıcan şakşuka. Perhaps the best-known Turkish eggplant dishes are İmam bayıldı (vegetarian) and Karnıyarık (with minced meat).</div> <div>It may also be roasted in its skin until charred, so the pulp can be removed and blended with other ingredients, such as lemon, tahini, and garlic, as in the Middle Eastern baba ghanoush and the similar Greek melitzanosalata. Grilled, mashed and mixed with onions, tomatoes and spices make the Indian and Pakistani dish baingan ka Bhartha or gojju, similar to salată de vinete in Romania, while a mix of roasted eggplant, roasted red peppers, chopped onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, celery and spices is called zacuscă in Romania or ajvar in Croatia and the Balkans. A simpler version of the dish, baigan-pora (eggplant-charred or burnt), is very popular in the east Indian states of Orissa and Bengal, and Bangladesh where the pulp of vegetable is mixed with raw chopped onions, green chillies, salt and mustard oil. Sometimes fried whole tomatoes and burnt potatoes are also added which is called baigan bharta. A Spanish dish called escalivada calls for strips of roasted aubergine, sweet pepper, onion and tomato. In Spain, is typical to find eggplant as berenjenas de Almagro. There, eggplants are also cooked with vinegar, red peppers, paprika and olive oil.</div> <div>The fruit can also be hollowed out and stuffed with meat, rice, or other fillings, and then baked. In the Caucasus, for example, it is fried and stuffed with walnut paste to make nigvziani badrijani. It can also be found in Chinese cuisine, braised (紅燒茄子), stewed (魚香茄子), steamed (凉拌茄子), or stuffed (釀茄子).</div> <div>As a native plant, it is widely used in Indian cuisine, for example in sambhar, dalma (a dal preparation with vegetables, native to Orissa), chutney, curry, and achaar. Owing to its versatile nature and wide use in both everyday and festive Indian food, it is often described (under the name brinjal) as the "king of vegetables". In one dish[which?], brinjal is stuffed with ground coconut, peanuts, and masala, and then cooked in oil.</div> <div>Cultivation</div> <div>In tropical and subtropical climates, eggplant can be sown directly into the garden. Eggplant grown in temperate climates fares better when transplanted into the garden after all danger of frost is passed. Seeds are typically started eight to 10 weeks prior to the anticipated frost-free date.</div> <div>Many pests and diseases which afflict other solanaceous plants, such as tomato, pepper (capsicum), and potato, are also troublesome to eggplants. For this reason, it should not be planted in areas previously occupied by its close relatives. Four years should separate successive crops of eggplants. Common North American pests include the potato beetles, flea beetles, aphids, and spider mites. (Adults can be removed by hand, though flea beetles can be especially difficult to control.) Good sanitation and crop rotation practices are extremely important for controlling fungal disease, the most serious of which is Verticillium.</div> <div>Spacing should be 45 cm (18 in.) to 60 cm (24 in.) between plants, depending on cultivar, and 60 cm to 90 cm (24 to 36 in.) between rows, depending on the type of cultivation equipment being used. Mulching will help conserve moisture and prevent weeds and fungal diseases. The flowers are relatively unattractive to bees and the first blossoms often do not set fruit. Hand pollination will improve the set of the first blossoms. Fruits are typically cut from the vine just above the calyx owing to the somewhat woody stems. Flowers are complete, containing both female and male structures, and may be self-pollinated or cross-pollinated.</div> <div> <p><em><strong>Health properties</strong></em></p> </div> <table cellpadding="0" border="1"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Eggplant, raw</strong></span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td colspan="2" valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)</strong></span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Energy</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">102 kJ (24 kcal)</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Carbohydrates</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">5.7 g</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>- </strong><strong>Sugars</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">2.35 g</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>- </strong><strong>Dietary fiber</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">3.4 g</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Fat</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">0.19 g</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Protein</strong><strong></strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">1.01 g</span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> <p><span style="color:#008000;">Thiamine (vit.
