About Shikou

70–80 days. "Shikou" means "supreme" in Japanese; this first hybrid Asian-type eggplant has few seeds, thin tender skin, and a very white interior. Easy to cook, with no peeling or salting required. Plants are so productive they may need staking to support the bounty of slender 6–8" deep purple fruits.
