ViewAubergine Meatball F1 is a modern variety selected for exceptionally dense, moist and substantial flesh, offering a satisfying texture for plant-based cooking. Glossy deep-purple fruits absorb sauces and seasonings well and are ideal for roasting, grilling, curries, parmigiana and recipes where aubergine replaces minced meat. The adaptable plants can crop in large containers, outdoors in a very warm sheltered site or under unheated glass, with greenhouse culture giving the most reliable UK results.
