About Ensoro Ewia

(Solanum aethiopicum). This flavorful eggplant is an indigenous variety of Ghana popular among the Ashantis. This variety is said to have been in use for over 150 years. The name Ensoro Ewia translates to "drought or heat resistant," and indeed this is a rugged, easy-to-grow plant! Unfortunately, this variety is becoming more rare in its homeland, so we offer thanks to Solomon Amuzu of Call to Nature Permaculture, who is working to reinvigorate interest in this variety in his home country of Ghana.
