Cooked aubergine, commonly known as eggplant, is a versatile ingredient popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. With its tender texture and mildly earthy flavor, it serves as a base for dishes like baba ghanoush, ratatouille, and pasta sauces. Aubergine is low in calories, making it ideal for weight-conscious diets, and it's a good source of dietary fiber, supporting healthy digestion. It also contains antioxidants like nasunin, which may protect cells from oxidative stress, and small amounts of vitamins such as B6 and K. While naturally low in fat and cholesterol, aubergines often absorb oil during cooking, especially frying, which can increase calorie content. Opting for grilling, roasting, or steaming can keep preparations light and nutrient-rich. Its adaptability and health benefits make cooked aubergine a nutritious and hearty addition to a balanced diet.
