Brinjal – Pepino Brinjal

Pepino (Pepino Melon) is a charming relative of the brinjal that produces sweet, juicy, melon-like fruits streaked in purple and gold. Mild, refreshing and lightly aromatic, the fruits are eaten fresh like a fruit — lovely in salads, desserts and snacks. The compact, easy plants crop well in warm climates and grow happily in pots and grow bags. Sow in full sun in fertile, well-draining soil, water regularly, and harvest ripe, fragrant fruits over a long season. A rare, delicious novelty that’s fun and rewarding to grow at home.
