EGGPLANT : JAWARA

This is my other collection of eggplant.
The flower is so beautiful.
I think great for ornamental too.



It's Jawara variety.



The globular shape of the fruit is usually harvested on the young stage.
The size is a bit smaller than a golf ball.
The fruit is well known for eaten raw.
Sweet taste and so crispy.


The pattern of the fruit skin is so beautiful.
A beautiful and tasty vegetable.


This eggplant is almost never cooked, just served on the fresh raw dish.
Eaten with sambal ( ground chili sauce).
Hmmm... so yummy...

  1. Salam Endah,

    Sedap bila di rebus dan di makan bersama air budu (fermented anchovies) atau sambal belacan.

  3. I must try growing these again. My last two plants both have lots of flowers, but they do not make it to the fruiting stage.

  4. How funny, Endah, you rarely cook aubergine and we very rarely eat it raw here in the uk! I must try it raw! I too love the flowers, especially when they are in bud.

    1. Yes, the raw young aubergine is so sweet and crispy. The taste is so different to the cooked one. You should try it.

    1. yes, the eggplant bloom is so beautiful. the color is so interesting too. Here we have unpredictable weather through this week. Hot and sweaty day, then big rain falls suddenly. It makes lot of us get flu.
      I hope you have a better weather there. Keep healthy.
