A unique and highly decorative variety that produces square or slightly elongated fruits, deep purple on the outside and pale green on the inside. Its flavor is sweet, crisp, and delicious, perfect for salads, grilled foods, or stir-fries. Unusual, it's a real eye-catcher in both the vegetable garden and the kitchen. It's also very productive and easy to grow, whether in pots or in the ground, as long as it receives full sun and warmth.
