- Aubergines are notoriously difficult to grow well, not germinating or producing poor fruit growth. Even when youve grown them, they can be lacking in flavour & sometimes bitter. Meatball, however, is the exception to the rule! This new variety was bred by combining the best traits of both heritage & hybrid varieties to give you an aubergine of excellence. Meatball gives you 12cm fruits with few seeds, dense meaty flesh which can be used as a meat substitute in many dishes, even grilling like steak or chops. The flesh is sweet & solid with a succulent buttery consistency. An added bonus is that Meatball won't oxidise & go brown like regular aubergines & you don't need to sprinkle with salt to get rid of the excess water, you can just chop it & cook it. Try Meatball cooked like you normally do in a moussaka, or why not try it raw in salads, shaped into meatballs, or have a go at the dessert Melanazane al cioccolato (think of a beetroot & chocolate cake but 100 times better). Meatball will revolutionise the way you think of & use aubergine forever. Available in two
