The variety is a local landrace of Reunion Island and is widely used in the region's traditional cuisine. Due to marked sensitivity to bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum and fungal diseases such as Phomopsis, cultivation in pure form often requires grafting onto wild resistant eggplant species.
In agronomic research, the variety is considered an important genetic resource. Breeding programs are aimed at creating hybrids that possess high disease resistance while maintaining the original morphological characteristics and taste qualities characteristic of this variety.
