Karuga Eggplants

Product description

Raised with loving care in Karuga, known for its natural beauty and history

Known for their elegant light green color and large size, Karuga Eggplants are classified as white eggplants. With a rich flavor not found in other white eggplants, they have been known to win over even the pickiest of eaters. Since 40 years ago, Karuga Eggplants have been lovingly cultivated by three experienced farmers who developed seeds perfectly suited to the soil in Karuga. The eggplants were given the name of region as a way to promote Karuga and revitalize the community.  Recognized as a specially-cultivated crop by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, our eggplants are raised with less than half of the standard amount of pesticides and nitrogen fertilizer, making them a safer and healthier choice.
