Comet White
Who says eggplant is just purple? If you are willing to break tradition, you will find this white Asian type (long and thinner than American types) very mild and a more refined interior. When puple types are cut, you see a greenish tinge to the flesh, white types are pure white.

Florida Market
Another classic American. Has a big fan base for its huge glossy fruit. Grown since the early 1900's you probably cant go wrong with this one.

Millionaire
this hybrid Japanese Eggplant will blow you away with its production of 8-10 inch narrow dark purple fruit. This is also an unusually early one.

Pingtung Long
I am a fan of the Asian class of eggplant. I like all of them. Why? Because I love eggplant breaded and pan fried in butter. The Asians are roughly the same size the whole length of the fruit giving you nice crispy perfect sized slices without tons of seeds. Pingtung gives you even more! These babies can get long! 15-20 inches are not uncommon. If staked, they are rather straight. If they touch the ground they will begin to kind of curl and make unique shapes. I also find the color of this variety appealing- light violet purple to my color-blind eye. Reminds me of Easter. Anyway, Pingtung is a winner for me for another reason. All eggplant are tough. Probably the last thing to die in the garden. I have mowed Pingtung off midseason and had it come right back and make a crop in late summer. This one is tough...and then some.

Rosa Bianca
Often when you read the arty-farty garden writers magazine articles, they will show photos of Rosa Bianca as they gush about the bounty of heirloom varieties. Good reason, it is quite beautiful. The round, medium sized fruit are a mix of lavender swirled with rose and white. Hailing from Sicily, this one has been around since....forever?
As with all eggplant, harvest while skin is still glossy

Shikou
Another of the spectacular Asian class, this 6-10 inch long beauty will make you happy as you harvest its thin, appealing deep purple fruit. A very refined type that will make you a convert.

Shoya Long
A japanese introduction, these deep purple long fruit are simply terrific. Even the caylex is deep shaded purple.

Thai Long Green
These 12' lime green long thin fruit will make you do a double take in the garden! An Asian type, they exhibit the great quality that is typical of its class. Be brave, try one.

Turkish Orange
Want something different in your garden? Try this. Weird (to me) little 3' round fruit that are actually very well flavored. Grill them, shish-kabob them, bake 'em. You accomplished cooks will think of many ways to use this strange little thing! You want to harvest these prior to them going to full orange. They are at their highest flavor at that point.
This style of eggplant is popular in Asia and the Middle East. In the West, they are sort of a novelty only seen by home gardeners and sometimes in Asian markets.
