Aubergines, often referred to as eggplants, are versatile, nutrient-rich vegetables widely used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. Originating from South Asia, they come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, but their deep purple variety is the most common. Aubergines are low in calories, rich in fiber, and packed with essential nutrients like potassium, manganese, and vitamins B6 and C. They contain antioxidants, particularly nasunin, which is found in their skin and may help protect cells from damage. While typically healthy, their spongy texture can absorb oil during cooking, which may add extra calories and fat; grilling or baking is a great alternative to frying. Aubergines can be enjoyed in dishes like ratatouille, baba ganoush, and curries, making them a flavorful and nutritious addition to any meal.
