| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Aug 27, 2014 4:30 PM I do love the small-fruited Asian-type eggplants, and Little Fingers is no exception. Purple, smaller-sized eggplants and plenty of them. Started producing early. They are the perfect size to pick for grilling. Slice in half and grill or cut in sections for kabobs.
