I search many varieties with big fruits about 500-1000grs.

if you know where buy seeds.

For those not used to metrics, that's a little over a pound to about two and a half pounds. Almost any eggplant can get that large if allowed to grow, but there are certain kinds that still taste good and have small seeds at that size. I have moved away from most hybrids to open pollinated varieties, mostly heirlooms. The ones I am growing this year , and my seed sources include:
