About Eggplant paste
Eggplant paste is a creamy spread made primarily from roasted, mashed eggplant, often combined with ingredients like olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and tahini, depending on the recipe. Originating from Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Balkan cuisines, it is a versatile dish featured in traditional recipes such as Baba Ghanoush and Melitzanosalata. Rich in antioxidants, notably nasunin found in the eggplant’s skin, eggplant paste supports cellular health and provides a moderate amount of dietary fiber, aiding digestion. Low in calories and containing heart-healthy fats from olive oil, it can be a nutritious option in moderation. However, nutritional aspects vary depending on added ingredients; some versions may include higher levels of sodium or oils, adjusting the health profile. Eggplant paste is enjoyed as a dip, spread, or accompaniment, offering a wholesome, plant-based option packed with flavor and valuable nutrients.
