Description
Long green brinjal is not only a nutritional powerhouse but also a warm-season crop.
Benefits
Long green brinjal offers a rich source of fiber and antioxidants. A serving provides at least 5% of daily requirements for fiber, copper, manganese, B-6, and thiamine. It also contains various vitamins and minerals, promoting overall health and well-being.
Planting
The planting process for long green brinjal involves starting indoors two months before the soil warms up. Sow seeds about 10 mm apart, 24 to 30 inches apart in well-prepared beds. Transplant seedlings after they've developed a couple of leaf sets, and encourage bushier growth by pinching out the terminal tips.
