The eggplant variety Purpura is characterized by a rounded fruit shape and a distinct marbled purple-white color. After heat treatment, the firm flesh of the fruits acquires a texture close to meat and has a rich flavor, which makes the variety suitable for grilling and baking.
In breeding programs, the variety shows partial resistance to Fusarium while being highly sensitive to Verticillium. In the professional sphere, it is used as a reference sample and genetic material for studying the biochemical properties of the crop.
