🍆 Eggplant

Eggplant is a vegetable crop that grows from Eggplant Seeds in Fall. It takes 5 days to mature and continues to produce every 5 days after harvest. Each Eggplant has a base sell price of 60g. Due to its regrowth ability and low seed cost, Eggplant is a reliable crop for players seeking consistent harvests throughout the season.

While not the most profitable crop compared to Cranberries or Pumpkins, Eggplants are versatile, providing steady income, useful cooking ingredients, and decent gifts for villagers.

🌱 Growing

Eggplant Seeds can be purchased from Pierre’s General Store or JojaMart for 20g each during Fall. They mature in 5 days and then regrow every 5 days, producing a single Eggplant per harvest. Eggplants can also be grown year-round in the Greenhouse or Garden Pots.
