Brinjals - Black Beauty

Brinjal 'Black Beauty', also known as eggplant, is a classic and widely favoured heirloom variety, celebrated by South African gardeners for its compact, bushy growth habit and prolific yields of large, uniform, and glossy deep purple-black fruits. These iconic brinjals have a classic teardrop to oval shape and a mild, creamy flesh with minimal seeds, making them exceptionally versatile in the kitchen. 'Black Beauty' brinjals are superb for slicing and grilling, baking, roasting, or incorporating into stews, curries, and Mediterranean dishes like moussaka and ratatouille. Their firm texture holds up well to cooking, absorbing flavours beautifully, which has cemented their status as a reliable and delicious choice for both home cooks and commercial growers.
