Yeah, more people should use the UH offer.
When you say "bite" what exactly do you mean? To me, eggplants have no bite, they are not firm or spicy. Do you mean maybe bitter?
Can you use them in tempura or will they fall apart, as you mentioned earlier that you like these green ones cuz they become so soft in cooking? We also use them in Asian dishes like mabo nasu, subbing the eggplant(nasu) for the tofu here.
It's too late to order seeds, I am already growing my Japanese eggplants for the summer, but I will order these later this year to get fresh seeds.
Mahalo HiPoha.
