The Ramones - When I Eat Vegetables I Think of You, people need to try new vegetables, for a couple of bucks for a pack of seeds why not?, for years people didn't eat things in the nightshade family, now we've accepted members of the nightshade family, eggplants are part of a really toxic group, nightshades are gorgeous looking, multi-colored eggplants and tomatoes look great in a flower bed, Eggplant is from India, Naranjilla, means little orange, Naranjilla is from the Andes and looks like an eggplant on steroids, the fruit is like a small bright yellow cherry tomato with a green interior, you can make sorbets or juices out of them, its easily five feet tall, Cassabanana, the fruit is incredibly fragrant, the fruit has bright orange flesh and is very juicy and delicious, its a big plant and needs support as it can grow up to 50 feet tall, the fruit ripening in time may be an issue, fruit vs vegetable is really a culinary thing, botanically something with seeds is a fruit, you often hear on cooking shows how the male egg plant is more bitter than the female eggplant, that's a ridiculous statement like calling a pregnant woman male, if it has seeds its the swollen female ovary of a plant, Scott has the life!, could you grow the Naranilla in Colorado?,To comment on this episode click here.
