Overview
Snowy, sometimes listed as Snowy White, is an early to main-season eggplant of Indian origin that bears white, smooth-skinned fruit 5 to 8 inches long. The flesh is firm and meaty, so slices hold together on a grill or in a roasting pan. Like other eggplants it wants warmth: sow indoors with bottom heat around eight weeks before setting out, and transplant only once nights are reliably mild, giving plants room for air to move. Harvest while the skin is still glossy and the fruit firm, cutting the stem with a knife rather than tugging. A good pick for cooks who like the milder look and texture of white eggplant.
