Battiri Eggplant (Palestine)
Pale purple eggplant from Palestine's famed Battir Valley. It is commonly served stuffed with meat and/or rice and other vegetables, and the thorny crowns themselves are also considered a delicacy.
This variety was stewarded by the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library founded by Vivien Sansour.
The PHSL's mission is to bring traditional knowledge and seed varieties back into everyday life. Sansour works with farmers around the world to:
Find and reintroduce threatened crop varieties, collect stories to assert the ownership of seeds by communities and not companies, and inspire local farmers and community members to play an active role in preserving local ecological spaces and systems.
