Well beyond flavor still a couple of differences. Asian eggplants usually don't keep as long as the Mediterranean vars, because they tend to have really thin skin. On the other hand, they usually mature earlier probably b/c they tend to be volumetrically smaller.

grow the larger ones like black beauty, alongside the asian ones. I liked all the asian ones I have grown. To me they are all pretty much the same, even the green one's. Very productive. The one's I have grown in the past, Machiaw F1, Thai Long Green, Ichiban, Ma-Zu, Casper, Louisiana Long Green, Black Beauty, and Diamond. That's it. |

If I would guess, you might be able to keep some of the med varieties for as long as two weeks on the countertop. The asian eggplants are probably a week before they start going downhill. |
