Cultivation highlights
Highly affected by shoot and fruit borers and requires significant plant protection efforts. Optimum moisture level and soil fertility is essential to achieve a good yield. At OrganicSiri, we grow all our crops in our own farms organically without use of fertilizers or chemicals.
Storage
Can be kept fresh for up to 5 days if kept at room temperature. The most important thing to remember when storing is to keep it cool, dark and dry. They don’t do well in extreme temperatures. When you keep it in the refrigerator, the cold temperatures lead it to spoil quickly. Keep your eggplant away from ethylene-producing fruits when keeping it. Fruits like apples, melons, avocados, bananas and nectarines, to mention a few, fall under this category.
