About Brinjal
Brinjal, also known as eggplant, is a versatile vegetable widely used in global cuisines, particularly in Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes. Originating from India, this glossy purple produce is rich in nutrients like dietary fiber, vitamins B1 and B6, and potassium. It contains antioxidants such as nasunin, which supports brain health, and polyphenols that may aid in controlling blood sugar levels. Brinjal’s low calorie and high fiber content make it a great choice for weight management and digestion. While it is naturally nutrient-dense, cooking methods like frying may increase its fat content, so roasting or grilling are healthier options. With its mild flavor and sponge-like texture, brinjal easily absorbs spices and sauces, making it a staple in dishes ranging from ratatouille and baba ghanoush to curries and stir-fries. However, some individuals may need to avoid it due to sensitivities to nightshade vegetables.
