Palermo Eggplant is a hybrid, Sicilian type eggplant with beautiful, round fruits. Sicilian-type eggplants are great for cooking because they’re easy to slice into patties. The sliced eggplant patties are great for grilling, eggplant parmesan and frying. Palermo produces medium-sized plants with medium-sized fruits that average 0.5-0.75 lbs each. Fruits are light purple with a dark purple shadowing that give it a shiny, almost mirror-like appearance. They also have a distinguished white border around the calyx. Fruits hold well in the field without getting seedy, which allows for a longer harvest window.
