The deep purple to almost black fruit is borne on attractive plants with rich purple stems, growing to approximately 75 cm tall. The cream-coloured flesh is almost seedless, becoming tender and creamy when cooked while readily absorbing flavours. With its sweet, mild taste and delicate texture, Nasu is ideal for grilling, stir-fries, curries, roasting, and traditional Japanese pickling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"538\" data-end=\"575\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"538\" data-end=\"575\"\u003eApproximately 40 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"746\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"606\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"609\"\u003eTropics: March to September\u003cbr data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"639\"\u003eSubtropics: August to December\u003cbr data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"672\"\u003eMild climates: September to December\u003cbr data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"711\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eCold climates: After the last frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"1104\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"769\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"772\"\u003eSow seed in trays 5 mm deep in a warm, well drained seed-raising mix.
