Rosa Bianca is a classic Italian heirloom eggplant with beautiful deep purple and white streaking. Medium fruits weigh around 6 to 8 ounces each, with creamy, soft flesh and no hint of bitterness. While not the heaviest yielder, it is notably more pest resistant and drought tolerant than many cultivated varieties.
