Originating from the warm regions of Southeast Asia, the Little Finger eggplant charms with its elongated, delicate fruits of a deep, glossy purple. Also called "small eggplant," it is distinguished by its small size, which makes it easy to eat fresh or cooked.

In the garden, it displays an upright habit and consistent vigor, prized in organic gardens for its ability to produce an abundant harvest in a limited space. Its popularity with gardeners is also linked to its earliness and relative disease resistance when properly cultivated.

This variety embodies finesse and diversity in a vegetable garden, and integrates gracefully into convivial gardening, contributing to a living and nourishing garden.
