Many vendors list it as a \u201clong oriental type.\u201d Waimanalo Long is reported to be one of the most commonly grown eggplants in Hawaii, replacing some of the older varieties of similar shape. A photo of Waimanalo Long taken in Kilauea, Hawaii, was featured in the National Geographic\u2019s website under \u201cYour Shots.\u201d<br \/>\nThere are varying reports of length, as some vendors state 8-12 inches long, and others claim 16 inches and longer. My own fruits were 12 inches long. The flesh is pale and tender. The color of the skin makes it a great choice for alternating in round slices, roasted, with a long pale green type such as Thai Long Green or others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4671,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[73,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4670","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-eggplant","7":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4670"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4670"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
