The pale green skin and tender flesh make it an excellent choice for stir-fries, curries, grilling, and roasting, where its subtle sweetness and smooth texture shine. A productive and visually striking variety that is well suited to warm-season growing in New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all eggplants, 'Rabi Long Green' requires warm temperatures to thrive and is best started indoors before transplanting out into a warm, sunny position after all frost risk has passed. Plants grow to a good size and benefit from staking as fruit develops. Harvest regularly to keep plants productive throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Summer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoors, 5 mm deep; transplant after frost risk passes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 cm apart\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–90 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–14 days at 21–24°C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 days; pick when fruit is firm, glossy, and well sized\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild, sweet, and tender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rasmussen Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58391391961391,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4098\/4879\/files\/Eggplant_-_Rabi_Long_Green_30_seeds.png?v=1788035950","url":"https:\/\/rasmussengardens.co.nz\/products\/eggplant-rabi-long-green-30-seeds","provider":"Rasmussen Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
