Solanaceae, the nightshade family, contains a wide range of plants with known agricultural, medicinal, and culinary uses. This family contains popular vegetables such as tomato, pepper, tomatillo, potato, and eggplant.
Eggplant is popular and widespread across Asia, with cultivars unique to India, China, and Japan. These Asian eggplants have different qualities than traditional American eggplant.
Join the Alabama Cooperative Extension System at Alabama A&M on Zoom to learn how to grow these Alabama-emergent Asian vegetables. We will discuss botanical descriptions, growing conditions, and uses for these crops.
