A specialty variety known for its eye-catching purple-and-white stripes and smaller, teardrop shape. Compared to larger types, it has thinner skin, fewer seeds, and a mild, sweet flavor — no bitterness here. The tender flesh holds up beautifully to grilling, roasting, or sautéing. Each bundle weighs about a pound and typically includes two or three beautifully sized fruits, harvested fresh at peak ripeness.
