Long, slender variety of aubergine, reportedly ideal for cutting into uniform, bite-sized slices for all your favorite aubergine recipes. Because of the low moisture content in the Ping Tung variety, it is not necessary to draw out any moisture within the fruit with salt before frying. The skin also remains tender, making it unnecessary to peel this variety. Ping Tung is apparently also excellent for pickling or as a zucchini substitute in zucchini bread recipes.
