About Bengan
Bengan, also known as eggplant or brinjal, is a versatile vegetable widely used in cuisines across the globe, particularly in Indian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes. This purple-hued vegetable is low in calories and contains essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium. Its skin is rich in antioxidants, including nasunin, which supports brain health and helps combat free radicals. Eggplant is also a good source of phytonutrients that promote cardiovascular health. While its natural nutritional profile makes it a healthy choice, preparation methods can influence its benefits; frying, for instance, may increase calorie content due to oil absorption. Whether grilled, roasted, or baked, bengan is a nutritious and flavorful addition to savory dishes, ranging from curries to casseroles. Its meaty texture and mild flavor make it a popular meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan diets.
