The Goyo Kumba Bitter Eggplant is a traditional African heirloom variety, highly valued for its unique bitter flavor and medicinal properties. Its fruits are round to slightly oval, with a creamy white to light green skin, sometimes streaked with darker shades.
A staple in many West African dishes, it is widely used in soups, stews, and traditional recipes.
 
Why Grow Goyo Kumba?
This heirloom variety is cherished for its authentic taste and cultural heritage. Unlike common eggplants, its flavor is pleasantly bitter, adding depth to sauces and broths. It is also considered beneficial for digestion and overall wellness in traditional cuisine.
 
Plant & Care
Keep soil consistently moist and mulch to retain water.
Plants reach 60–120 cm in height and mature in 80–100 days.
 
Harvest & Culinary Uses
Harvest when fruits are mature but still firm, usually when they are 5–10 cm in diameter.
The fruits are traditionally cooked in soups, stews, and sauces, where their bitterness balances rich and spicy flavors.
They can also be roasted, boiled, or added to mixed vegetable dishes. In many regions, Goyo Kumba is also valued for its medicinal uses.
