About Terong
Terong, commonly known as eggplant or aubergine, is a versatile vegetable widely used in Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Native to South Asia, it comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from deep purple to pale green. Rich in vitamins like B6, K, and C, terong is packed with antioxidants, particularly nasunin, which supports brain health. It’s also a good source of fiber, aiding digestion and promoting heart health by helping lower cholesterol levels. While low in calories, its spongy texture can absorb oils during cooking, making preparation methods important. Grilling, roasting, or steaming it minimizes added fats. Terong adds subtle, earthy flavors to dishes like curries, stews, baba ghanoush, and ratatouille and pairs well with bold seasonings. Its high water content makes it hydrating and ideal for weight management, aligning with nutritious, balanced diets.
