Experienced gardeners have long known, but beginners may find it new that eggplants come in a wide variety of colors.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said that, in addition to the well-known purple eggplants, there are also varieties with white, as well as green, red and yellow fruits.

Today we will talk about white eggplants and the reasons for their popularity.

First of all, it is worth noting that white vegetables always taste better than the traditional purple-skinned version.

These eggplants never taste bitter.

Despite the fact that there are also “blue” ones without bitterness, you should carefully select the variety, whereas with white ones this need disappears - you can safely take any.

In addition, white eggplants have a richer, more intense flavor. Almost all of them emit a strong aroma reminiscent of champignons, and some taste like chicken.

So, what varieties should you buy if you decide to grow white eggplants: "Mushroom Taste", "Swan", "Thai White Ribbed", "F1 Pelican", "F1 Ping-Pong".
