Black Beauty

The 'Black Beauty' eggplant variety is a mid-season, high-yielding hybrid characterized by powerful, tall bushes reaching 70-75 cm in height. The fruits of this variety are large, oval-cylindrical in shape, ranging from 12 to 25 cm in length and weighing from 200 to 700 g depending on growing conditions. The fruit skin has a rich dark purple color with a glossy surface, while the flesh is light green or light cream, dense, tender, and very tasty. This variety is suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouses and film coverings, making it versatile for various climatic conditions.

Black Beauty is distinguished by its high yield—up to 12 kg per square meter with proper care and favorable conditions. The plant is resistant to insect and mite attacks, reducing the need for frequent application of chemical protection agents. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to adhere to agronomic practices, including soil loosening, fertilization, abundant watering, and timely destruction of pests. In cooler regions, the variety is better grown in hotbeds, as it is heat-loving and may perish at temperatures below 15 degrees.

The fruits of Black Beauty are versatile in application: they are excellent for fresh consumption, salad preparation, home cooking, as well as for canning and making eggplant caviar. Thanks to the dense skin and good storability, eggplants of this variety withstand long-distance transportation well, making them in demand for market sales. Additionally, the variety is rich in trace elements, which promotes the normalization of digestion and is beneficial in dietary nutrition.
