About Listada de Gandia
Listada de Gandia is a Spanish heirloom with white fruits marked by purple striping and notably thin skin. It is appreciated for mild flavor and attractive fruit, but like many heirlooms it is less uniform than modern hybrids.
Growing Listada de Gandia Eggplant
Grow it in full sun with warm nights, and consider light staking because heavily set branches can lean. Harvest on the small to medium side while the skin is still shiny, since thin-skinned heirlooms get seedy and soft if overmature.
