Fruits grow to approximately 25 cm long and remain narrow and elegant, making them quite different from the large, rounded purple eggplants commonly found in supermarkets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flesh is mild, tender and notably free from bitterness, with a delicious nutty flavour. Its fine texture and thin skin mean there is no need to peel the fruit before cooking. Thai Long Green is excellent in curries, stir-fries and soups, as well as grilled, roasted or braised. The flesh readily absorbs spices, sauces and aromatics while retaining its delicate flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong green eggplants are an important part of Southeast Asian cooking, where they are valued for their tender texture and ability to perform in hot, humid conditions. Thai Long Green is particularly well suited to warm Australian gardens and begins producing relatively early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants thrive through warm weather in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Regular harvesting while the fruits are young, glossy and tender encourages continued flowering and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 50 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Most of the year, avoiding the coolest period\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Late winter to summer\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring to summer\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Start indoors in late winter to spring and transplant after all danger of frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5 mm deep into trays or pots and keep warm and consistently moist.

Harvest while fruits are approximately 20–25 cm long and the pale green skin remains smooth and glossy. Fruits can also be picked smaller for particularly tender flesh.
