The "Heirloom Organically Grown Indian Brinjal" is a rare and highly sought-after variety of eggplant that is native to India. Known for its deep purple color and rich, flavorful taste, this eggplant has been traditionally grown and consumed in India for centuries.

One of the key features of the Indian brinjal (Nati Vankaya / Nati Kattarikkai) is that it is grown using only natural and organic methods, which means that it is free from the use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This not only results in a healthier, more nutritious product but also helps to preserve the environment by avoiding the use of harmful chemicals.

Indian brinjal is a versatile vegetable, it can be cooked in many ways, it can be stuffed, grilled, fried, sautéed and roasted. It's a great ingredient for traditional Indian dishes such as baingan bharta, chutney, and it can also be used in curries.

Indian Brinjal is must sweeter than its relative, with few seeds and a medium-thick edible skin that does not require peeling before being cooked. The interior has a creamy texture.
While technically a fruit, Brinjal is prepared as a vegetable and found in Asian cuisines worldwide. One of the most versatile of ingredients, it can be baked whole or cut in half, steamed, grilled, sautéed or braised.

Growing

Eggplant – also known as Brinjal grows wild in its homeland of South Asia as a perennial plant, though these warm-season vegetables are treated by most gardeners as annuals. Given their tropical and subtropical heritage, eggplants do require relatively high temperatures, similar to tomatoes and peppers (Nightshade family). They grow fastest when temperatures are between 70 and 85°F and very slowly during cooler weather. Like tomatoes and peppers, eggplants develop and hang from the branches of a plant that grows several feet in height. Because they need warm soil, eggplants are usually started indoors about two months in advance to get a head start. 

Planting

  • Start seeds indoors about 8–9 weeks prior to the last spring frost. Seeds germinate quickly at temperatures between 70 to 90°F.
  • Do not plant eggplant transplants into the garden until after the last threat of frost.
  • Choose a very sunny spot for the best results.
  • Eggplant grows best in a well-drained sandy loam or loam soil, fairly high in organic matter.
  • Use a covering of black plastic mulch to warm soils before setting out transplants.
  • Eggplant requires moderate amounts of fertilizer. Mix about 1” of well-rotted manure or a general fertilizer about a week before planting.
  • If growing in pots, use at least 5-gallon pot per plant. Place it outdoor in full sun so it can be pollinated. Use premium soil mix to avoid disease.
  • Stake the plants right away (just an inch or two from the plant) to provide support as they climb and to avoid disturbing the soil later.
  • After planting, water well. Add a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Care

  • Eggplant will fall over once loaded with fruit! Be sure to stake tall plants or use a cage to keep the plants upright. 
  • Pinch out the terminal growing points for a bushier plant. For bigger fruits, restrict to five or six per plant.
  • Water well to moisten the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches so the soil is moist but never soggy.
  • The critical period for moisture is during fruit set and fruit development. Mulching can help to provide uniform moisture & conserve water.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer twice during the growing season. Side-dress when the first fruits are about the size of a quarter. Note:Too much nitrogen may cause excessive vegetative growth.

Pests / Diseases

  • Flea beetles are probably the most common pest, but a healthy eggplant should be able to withstand damage from their tiny holes. Damage is usually serious only on young seedlings. Grow plants under row covers until they are large enough to tolerate leaf damage.  
  • Powdery Mildew can affect eggplant. This appears as white, powdery spots on the leaves which may turn yellow and die. The best method of control is prevention. Plant where it receives full sun, and provide good air circulation. Water at the soil level, not on the leaves. 
  • Tomato Hornworms are sometimes an issue as are Colorado potato beetles, lace bugs, and mites.
  • If the flowers on eggplants form but then fall off, or if fruit does not develop, the most likely problem is that the temperature is too cold.
  • If the fruits are small and not growing, it’s also probably too cold. Eggplants like it hot! Daytime temperatures need to be 80° to 90° F and night time temperatures should not go below 60° to 65° F or their grow is very slow to stalled.

The only chew toy that has actualy held up...for well over 2 years!
Size: Medium, Style: 4 Pack, Size: Medium, Style: 4 Pack
These things are amazing! They last forever even with dogs that can destroy nearly everything else in mins! I ordered these as a doggie Xmas gift over TWO YEARS AGO, and they are still pretty much fully intact! They chew on them all the time, too!(see pics; that's over two years of steady use!) I only got the one 4 pack, and have 4 dogs, too! Since making them so well does kind of reduce my ability to buy many more from them, I feel I should at least let people know they really are crazy durable and dogs love them! I will prob buy another 4 pack soon, just so they are easier to find(end up under couches,etc). Def a good buy!!!!

Built for heavy chewers and actually holds up
Size: Medium, Style: Fishbone/Wishbone
This chew toy is a total win for heavy chewers and has held up really well compared to so many others we’ve tried. It keeps dogs busy for long stretches and they stay genuinely interested in it instead of destroying it in minutes. The shape makes it easy for them to grip and chew comfortably, which adds to how much they use it. The durability is the real standout here, making it one of those rare toys that actually earns a repurchase. The material feels sturdy, it’s easy to clean, and there’s no noticeable odor, which is always a plus.

Definitely recommend
Size: Large, Style: 4 Pack
My dogs absolutely love these! I bought them at a great price! They have lasted my dogs over a year! I have a full pitbull, pit/lab, pit/boxer, and a pit/mastiff. So needless to say they pass the power jaw test. They look just like the pictures and they are pretty light weight!

Benebone is fantastic for heavy chewers and busy, adolescent pups!
Size: Medium, Style: 4 Pack
This little multi-pack is cost-effective in a few ways, super durable and effective, and I'll definitely be purchasing the multi-pack again. We discovered these about a year ago and have been buying them ever since. I'm just now getting around to reviewing them because they're that good, plus I love that the company is family-owned. Four "bones" lasts a little over a month for a power chewer, which is a bargain! You get 4 medium size "bones" for the retail price of 2. These smell delicious to dogs but humans can detect the odor, which is so nice. They are incredibly durable, but somehow also not too hard for a power chewer, and they keep pup from chewing on books and other items that we don't wanted chewed to bits. Heavy chewers (and their people!) love these and the variety of shapes means we can swap them out in rotation and keep pup's interest going for a few weeks. Wait until your pup has all of their adult teeth, as they are a little too hard for teething. And for super power chewers, watch out for the fish shaped chew, as this one seems to allow larger pieces to be chewed off the fish head "corners" more easily due to the relative thinness of the shape at that point when compared to the other 3 shapes. Keep an eye on how much your power chewer is taking off of these "bones" (little tiny pieces do get chewed off) and toss them (or recycle with Benebone!) when your dog is able to chew off more than a crumb size piece. Hooray for Benebone! Hooray for family-owned businesses! We'll be back for more!

Seems Very Durable So Far
Size: Small, Style: 4 Pack
My dogs are really enjoying these chew toys! These keep them busy for hours!! So far they seem very durable and my little dogs can really chew and destroy so I’m happy about these so far! They rarely each chew a toy at the same time, but choose to take turns instead. But now they each have a chew toy and they are happy campers!!
