• Other: My New Favorite Eggplant! These ‘Pumpkins On A Stick’ Are Both Ornamental & Edible. They Are So Cute I Can Barely Stand It! The Small 2" Ribbed Fruit Looks Like A Miniature Pumpkin, & They Are Popular In Fall Crafts. For Craft Use, Allow The Fruit To Ripen, & Simply Allow Them To Dry On Their Stems. You Can Use Stalks Of The Little Guys To Make A Larger Display, Or Remove The Individual Fruits For Smaller Displays. The Fruit Is Bitter If It Is Allowed To Ripen, But It Can Be Picked Green & It's Very Tasty. They Are Popular In Asian Cuisine, Especially In Stir Fries.
