It was an immediate hit because the plants ripened perfect fruits dramatically earlier than other varieties. It became the common market eggplant of today. Harvested fresh, however, makes all the difference. The Black Beauty eggplant grows deep purple fruits up to 6 inches long. The flesh is smooth and pale yellow. Plant can grow up to 3 feet tall. The Black Beauty makes a great eggplant for growing in the garden. The eggplant, and its close relative the tomato, were considered poisonous for many years.
