About Berinjela

Berinjela, commonly known as eggplant, is a versatile vegetable native to South Asia, widely used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. It is low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, making it a great option for weight management and digestive health. Eggplant is packed with antioxidants like nasunin, found in its purple skin, which supports brain health and protects cells from damage. It also contains key nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium. Additionally, eggplant is a good source of phytonutrients that support cardiovascular health. While naturally healthy, eggplant absorbs oil easily, so fried preparations can add extra calories and fats. To maximize its nutritional benefits, opt for grilling, baking, or steaming. Its mild flavor and hearty texture make it an excellent meat substitute in vegetarian dishes like eggplant Parmesan or baba ganoush.
