Aubergine 'Black Beauty'

Black Beauty is an early fruiting, large fruited aubergine variety. See how much hand strains under the weight of it! We've found this variety to be a reliable cropper even in difficult growing years. The aubergines it produces are both beautiful and delicious - shiny jet black skins with creamy white flesh. 

Aubergines are a long season crop and need to be started early and grown in a greenhouse. If you keep the plants well looked after, you'll be harvesting aubergines from August to October.

Sow: Valentines day - March, with heat (25C), prick out and pot on to plant out after risk of frost has passed end of May
Harvest: August-September
Kitchen: Pairs with savoury (parmesan, miso, anchovies, capers, parmesan), aromatic (parsley, basil, coriander, thyme), spicy (anise, chilli, cinnamon), fats (seasame, goats cheese, mozzarella), alliums (garlic, spring onion).
