Local variety of eggplant found in Laos From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lao eggplant (Lao: ໝາກເຂືອ, pronounced [mȁːk kʰɯ̌a̯]), also known as Lao aubergine, is a local variety of eggplant found in Laos and used primarily in Lao cuisine. Research indicates Laos to be home to a wide diversity of eggplant landraces with variation in fruit shape, color, and the presence or absence of spines.[1] Common cultivar types in Laos are Lao Green Stripe, Lao Purple Stripe, Lao Lavender, and Lao White.[2] They are usually round and roughly the size of a golf ball.
