Overview
Nubia is an early-season hybrid on plants of 3 to 4 feet, bearing uniquely variegated purple and white fruit 4 to 8 inches long, with dense, cream-colored flesh that tastes mild and semi-sweet. Maturity is about 68 to 70 days, somewhat later than many Italian hybrids, so keep plants evenly watered and fed into late summer rather than expecting an early flush. Start indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting into full sun. A brief salting after slicing draws out moisture and firms the flesh for roasting, grilling or caponata. Pick while the variegated skin is glossy, since it dulls once past peak.
