10 Drought-Tolerant Vegetables to Grow in a Water-Saving Garden

5. Ping Tung Long Eggplant -- Sleek, Sweet, and Heat-Loving

With a name like Ping Tung Long, how could it not be cool? This long, slender eggplant hails from Taiwan and loves the heat. It's drought-tolerant, super productive, and doesn't mind skipping a few watering sessions. Plus, it has thin skin (in a good way---no need to peel!).

Kitchen tip: Roast it whole with olive oil and garlic. Thank me later.
