A Vibrant Twist on Tradition: Striped Green Garden Eggs

Grown on our Caribbean farm, Green Striped Garden Eggs with their pale green skin streaked in bright lime stripes are a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Their crisp texture and gentle bitterness make them a beloved ingredient in Nigerian and Ghanaian kitchens, where they are celebrated for their refreshing crunch and visual appeal.

“Striped Green Garden Eggs are nature’s art. Each one unique, each bite connecting generations through flavor, texture, and tradition.”

Often called “Nsukka garden egg” or “White Striped Garden Egg", they are perfect for both traditional and modern dishes, these striking vegetables bring a touch of elegance to every plate while honoring West African culinary roots.

Why Choose Green Striped Garden Eggs?

• Distinctive Appearance – Their green-on-green stripes add beauty and conversation to any meal or market display.
• Classic Flavor – Delivers that authentic, gently bitter garden egg taste with a clean, refreshing finish.
• Nutrient-Packed – Rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals to support digestive and heart health.
• Cultural Staple – Revered in West African kitchens for their role in sauces, stews, and celebratory dishes.

How to Use

Slice or quarter Striped Green Garden Eggs for garden-egg sauce or tomato-based stews. Eat them raw with spicy peanut dip (ose orji), pickle them for a tangy side, or roast whole for a smoky, flavorful appetizer. Their firm texture makes them ideal for soups, buffets, and contemporary plating. Their firm flesh resists mushiness, ideal for meal‑prep and buffet service.
