Listada de Gandia Heirloom Eggplant
Growing Listada de Gandia Heirloom Eggplant
‘Listada de Gandia’ is a striking heirloom eggplant prized for its beautiful purple-and-cream striping, sweet flavor, and tender texture. Oval fruits develop creamy white flesh that is completely bitter-free, and the thin skin is tender enough to cook without peeling. Excellent heat and drought tolerance help this variety continue setting fruit through challenging summer conditions.
Start ‘Listada de Gandia’ indoors for transplanting about ¼ inch deep. Space plants 3 to 4 feet apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm climates and can continue producing during periods of high heat.
Ready to harvest in about 75 days, begin picking the fruits once they reach their mature size and develop their characteristic purple-and-cream striping. Harvest while the fruits are still firm, glossy, and tender for the best eating quality.
Sweet, tender, and flavorful, ‘Listada de Gandia’ is excellent for roasting, grilling, sautéing, baking, and everyday cooking.
