Giotto Black Oval Eggplant
A plump oval variety, Giotto eggplant produces fruits with glossy, almost-black dark purple skin and firm, low-seed flesh, among the most common types grown in Italian vegetable gardens.
The Giotto Eggplant Plant
It belongs to the species Solanum melongena, family Solanaceae. It has a compact, bushy habit, with full, regularly shaped fruits growing on sturdy stalks.
How to Sow Giotto Eggplant
Sow in a seedbed from February to March, transplanting into the field from April-May, once minimum temperatures stay consistently above 12°C.
How to Grow Giotto Eggplant
It loves heat and full sun exposure; it needs loose, fertile soil, regular watering without waterlogging, and potassium-rich fertilising to boost fruiting.
Tips for Giotto Eggplant
Harvest when the skin is taut and glossy: dull fruits or visible seeds indicate over-ripeness and lower quality flesh.
Diseases and Pests of Giotto Eggplant
Like all nightshades it can be attacked by Colorado potato beetle and aphids; crop rotation helps prevent the build-up of soil-borne pathogens.
Uses and Curiosities of Giotto Eggplant
Its plump oval shape makes it perfect for hollowing out and stuffing, as well as for parmigiana and layered bakes with regular slices.
Properties of Giotto Eggplant
A low-calorie, water-rich food, Giotto eggplant contains fibre, potassium and anthocyanins concentrated in its dark skin, useful as natural antioxidants.
Nutritional Values of Giotto Eggplant
Per 100 grams, Giotto eggplant provides about 24 kcal, 1 g protein, 5.7 g carbohydrates, 0.2 g fat and 3 g fibre.
