About Eggplant spread

Eggplant spread, often associated with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, is a flavorful, nutrient-rich dip made primarily from roasted or grilled eggplants. Commonly combined with ingredients like garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and tahini, it offers a creamy texture and savory taste. Variations may include herbs like parsley or spices such as cumin and paprika. Known by different names such as baba ganoush or melitzanosalata in specific regions, this spread is low in calories and packed with beneficial nutrients, including fiber, vitamins B and E, and antioxidants. The healthy fats from olive oil and tahini contribute to heart health, while the eggplant adds phytonutrients that support cellular health. However, its calorie content can rise if additional oils or rich accompaniments are incorporated. Versatile and wholesome, eggplant spread pairs excellently with fresh vegetables, whole-grain bread, or crackers for a nutritious snack or appetizer.
