TERONG JARI : FINGER EGGPLANT

This eggplant is so cute.
So little and so slim too, like a finger.
When we eat the fresh raw eggplant, especially the young one, the taste is so sweet, so tasty.


The immature fruit is great for traditional Javanese gravy soup 'Lodeh'
Hmmm... delicious...


It's so tasty for stir fried too, with chopped garlic and chili.


For tempura... so delicious!


The flower is so beautiful too!
A lovely plant...


Will you plant it too?

    I've never eaten raw aubergine/eggplant. I guess when the plant was given the name eggplant in some parts of the world they never anticipated fruits shaped like fingers.

    I love eggplant, but we think my husband has an allergy to it. Our freezer is packed full with eggplant I froze from our garden ( slim Italian eggplant and Black Beauty). Guess I will be eating these on my own. Yours look delicious! Linda@Wetcreek Blog

      Yes, eggplant is an interesting vegetable. High in vitamin and lots of benefits. Our homegrown vegetables must be more tasty and healthy.

    As others have written, I would never have thought it would be good to eat raw eggplant. I would have expected them to be bitter. I am not a big fan of eggplant, but I do quite like the long thin purple ones. We still refer to them as brinjals!

    Will this be purple eggplant?
    And it's interesting that it can be eaten raw.
    Greetings.

      No, the ripen eggplant will turn yellow. This is green version.

    Hi Endah,
    I have no luck with eggplants! My plant would usually have lots of flowers, but no fruits! I love eating eggplants and will try to grow it again.

      Hi Joyce,
      Lots of bugs attacked my eggplants. I always protect them, to keep them safe from the bug attack.
