Egg plant - long purple

Posted 160 days ago

I bought a "long purple" egg plant and it has produced many fruits about 25mm diameter and 200mm to 250mm long. They are not turning purple as shown on the picture that came with the plant. They are white with a few mauve stripes. When cut they look OK and I have cooked and eaten one. Will these turn purple and are they OK to eat?

I grew eggplants last season, and they sound very much like yours. The variety I grew were heirloom, maybe yours were mislabeled?
