A cherished heirloom from the village of Elavambadi in Tamil Nadu, this unique brinjal variety is easily recognized by its distinct thorns on the calyx and rich purple-green sheen. Known for its firm yet tender flesh and mildly sweet, earthy flavor, Elavambadi Thorn Brinjal brings authentic South Indian taste to your kitchen.

Its flavor holds beautifully in curries, gravies, and roasted dishes, absorbing spices while retaining its shape — perfect for traditional recipes like ennai kathirikai or brinjal sambar. This local gem is more than just a vegetable; it’s a living piece of Tamil farming heritage, passed down through generations and loved for its taste, resilience, and cultural roots.
