Did you know that the Hindi word for eggplant is ‘baingan,’ and is actually derived from another word that means ‘without merit’ .Eggplant long time has been misunderstood as a non-nourishing food.
So wrong because here is what eggplant can do to your health :
- rich with iron, calcium and other minerals
- you can eat it stuff, grill, bake, roast, stewed
- contain certain essential phyto nutrients which improve blood circulation and nourish the brain
- note: most nutrients are concentrated in the skin of the eggplant so throw it away
- rich with fiber, which protects the digestive tract and protects you from colon cancer
- high in bioflavonoids, which control high blood pressure and relieve stress
- low in calories just 35 per cup
