Eggplant puree is a creamy, flavorful dish made by blending roasted or steamed eggplant with ingredients like olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings. Popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines, it serves as a versatile base for dips, spreads, or accompaniments to various dishes. Nutritiously, eggplant puree is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and low in calories, making it a heart-healthy choice. The anthocyanins found in eggplant skin contribute to its anti-inflammatory benefits, while the olive oil adds healthy fats. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on added ingredients like heavy oils or salt. Whether enjoyed as baba ghanoush, mutabbal, or in fusion recipes, eggplant puree is both a delicious and health-conscious option for a balanced diet.
