Dante Round Lilac Eggplant
Dante round lilac eggplant is a classic, much-loved kitchen variety: its lilac skin and flesh that doesn't brown after cutting make it ideal for a wide range of dishes.
The Dante Eggplant Plant
It belongs to the species Solanum melongena, family Solanaceae. A moderately productive plant, with round, slightly ribbed fruits and smooth skin in a characteristic lilac colour.
How to Sow Dante 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 Dante Eggplant
It prefers sunny spots, fertile well-drained soil, with regular watering during fruit swelling for an abundant harvest in high summer.
Tips for Dante Eggplant
Harvest once the fruit reaches medium size and the skin is still taut: the slow-oxidising flesh also makes it convenient to prepare ahead of time.
Diseases and Pests of Dante 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 Dante Eggplant
Thanks to its delicately flavoured, low-seed flesh, Dante eggplant is perfect for parmigiana, pan-fried rounds and as a base for sauces and preserves.
Properties of Dante Eggplant
Made up of over 90% water, Dante eggplant is low in calories and rich in fibre, potassium and compounds beneficial to liver health.
