✦ Low calorie
✦ Fibre source
✦ Anthocyanin antioxidants
✦ Manganese source
Aubergine is a low-calorie fruiting vegetable with fibre, manganese, and skin pigments called anthocyanins that act as antioxidants. It contributes small amounts of potassium and folate, and its spongy flesh readily absorbs cooking fat.
🍳
Preparation note
Eat with the skin on to keep the anthocyanin pigments; the flesh is best cooked rather than eaten raw.
