How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in moist, well-draining soil. Keep warm (75–85°F) for optimal germination in 10–21 days. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Water consistently and watch your garden come alive with lush, productive plants.

Both the Leaves and Fruit Are Edible
Unlike common eggplant, Anchia is prized for its tender, slightly bitter greens — a staple in West African cuisine — as well as its smooth, mild-flavored fruits. Harvest leaves young for the most delicate flavor, and pick fruits when glossy and firm.

A Meaningful Gift — A Taste of Home
For loved ones in the diaspora who miss the flavors of home, or for the curious gardener who craves something rare and special, Anchia seeds make an incredibly thoughtful, culturally rich gift that grows into something truly nourishing.
