With its sweet, mild flavor and tender, thin skin, Ichiban is a deep purple eggplant prized for its exceptional versatility in the kitchen. A favorite among chefs, its fruits are delicious grilled, roasted, sautéed, or added to a variety of dishes. Like all eggplants, Ichiban loves warm weather, but it also performs well in cooler climates and continues producing into the fall season.
Thrives in moist, well-drained soil and full sun. Provide stakes or an eggplant cage to support plants.
