Egg Fruit Gretel Seeds ā€“ Early White Eggplants for a Bountiful Harvest šŸ†

Egg Fruit Gretel Seeds are known for producing the earliest white eggplants, delivering clusters of glossy mini-fruits that are tender and non-bitter. Highly productive, this hybrid variety offers a continuous supply of delicious eggplants, perfect for grilling, roasting, or sautƩing. The plants feature thornless leaves, making harvesting a painless experience, and can be grown both in-ground or in large containers, with or without support.
