Elly Long Black Eggplant
Grown for generations in family vegetable gardens for its reliability, Elly eggplant delivers steady harvests and slender fruits prized for their firm flesh and low seed content.
The Elly Eggplant Plant
It belongs to the species Solanum melongena, family Solanaceae, the same as tomatoes and peppers. An annual herbaceous plant that can exceed a metre in height, with broad leaves and lilac flowers.
How to Sow Elly Eggplant
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 30°C; transplant once the seedling reaches 15-20 cm in height.
How to Grow Elly Eggplant
Recommended plant spacing is about 60 cm; steady watering, especially during fruit swelling, ensures an abundant harvest from July to August.
Tips for Elly Eggplant
Harvest while the skin is still taut and glossy: fruits left too long on the plant tend to develop more seeds and less prized flesh.
Diseases and Pests of Elly Eggplant
Like other eggplants it can be affected by Colorado potato beetle, aphids and red spider mite; good soil drainage prevents root rot after heavy rain.
Uses and Curiosities of Elly Eggplant
Its firm, low-seed flesh is perfect sliced and fried, as well as for parmigiana and the classic oven-baked stuffed eggplant.
Properties of Elly Eggplant
Made up of over 90% water, Elly eggplant is low in calories and rich in fibre and micronutrients such as potassium and vitamin C, plus antioxidant phytonutrients.
Nutritional Values of Elly Eggplant
Per 100 grams, Elly eggplant provides about 24 kcal, 1 g protein, 5.7 g carbohydrates, 0.2 g fat and 3 g fibre.
