Please note: this listing is for SEEDS, not fresh eggplants! If you are interested in fresh Intore eggplants as produce, please email us and we will put you in touch with our grower, Janine Ndagijimana for purchasing.

This is an oblong, lobed, white garden egg from Africa that is particularly large and more productive, especially in shorter seasons like northern Vermont where Janine Ndagijimana lives and farms. Janine's family is from Burundi but she was born in Rwanda in a refugee camp. She now grows acres of this eggplant in order to ship thousands of pounds of fresh fruits to Africans throughout the US, and now she also shares the seeds through our catalog.

People like to eat this eggplant for its health benefits and to replace meat in various dishes. They are mixed with beans and veggies, mixed with fish and oil, fried and eaten with sauce, simply boiled, and even eaten fresh like an apple.

Planting / harvesting notes

These are heat-loving and seeds should be started indoors about 1/4 inches deep, about 8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant into the garden well after the danger of frost. The growing characteristics are similar to most eggplants. The plants reach about 4-5 feet tall and should be planted 12 inches apart. They need full sun and fertile soil. Staking helps as the plants become heavy. The eggplants begin green, but should be picked when they are about 3 inches long and white (and before they turn orange!) They must be picked regularly to keep production and ensure they don't over ripen. For seed saving the fruits ripen to orange.

Seed keeping notes

Eggplants are generally self-pollinating, though we isolate different varieties of the same species by 300 feet, in hopes that flying insects will not cross pollinate them unexpectedly. Eggplant seeds are ripe when the fruits get far past their edible stage, and have turned another color, in this case orange. Cut the fruit, scrape out seeds (perhaps through a heavy-duty screen) into a vessel, add a little water (1-2" is probably plenty) to your seeds and pulp to keep them from drying out, and allow them to ferment away from direct sunlight. Fermentation is not necessary with eggplants, but it makes seed cleaning a bit easier. Ideally, you will stir the concoction every day for 3-5 days. In the end, add more water to fill the vessel, stir one final time, and allow the seeds to settle. Pour off the floating material and then strain the seeds through a strainer. Sometimes, you will need to add more water and pour off the floating material several times until the water is clear and you can see the seeds sunken at the bottom. Squeeze dry the strained seeds in a towel, and then lay out to dry on a labeled screen or paper product in a ventilated place away from direct sunlight for a week or two.

Spray to set cosmetics specifically powder
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
The product is very nice after applying dry powder to face; spray is perfect however it very strong smelling and you need to be careful not to spray to close to eyes even while shut. Has a burning effect if you spray near cornors of eyes.

Goes great with pressed powder foundation!
Size: 0.4 fl oz (Pack of 1)
I purchased the mini size of this product to keep in my purse. I use the mist with my Jane Iredell pressed powder foundation. I use one spray after the application of Powder and then I use again in the afternoon just for a refresh. It makes my skin glow. It’s lightweight and the application is easy. It doesn’t make the powder feel heavy on my face. highly recommend.

an amazing primer
Style: Brightening
This is an amazing primer. I only use it when I'm dressing up since it is expensive. It has always helped minimize my pores and helped smooth the appearance of my makeup. I've been using this primer for years. I first learned about this makeup brand from my dermatologist. I am acne prone and none of their products break me out.
