Skin color fades when cooked

ruisseau · July 31, 2006

Hi all,

I'm growing Slim Jim this year and the plants are producing like crazy! The only thing that dissappoints me about this variety is that the beautiful purple skin color fades to a yucky brown when cooked. I've seen other varieties do the same... the seed catalogs don't specify which ones fade when cooked. It seems like the larger bulbous eggplants don't fade.

Can anyone recommend a slender purple eggplant that doesn't fade when cooked?

Thanks for your help!
