Zucchini, eggplant, and Brussels sprouts are a vibrant trio often celebrated in Mediterranean and European cuisine. Zucchini, a tender summer squash, is rich in antioxidants, vitamins B6 and C, and low in calories. Eggplant, with its unique purple skin, contains fiber, potassium, and nasunin, an antioxidant that supports brain health. Brussels sprouts, small cabbage-like vegetables, boast high levels of vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber, aiding digestion and immune support. This combination is packed with nutrients, offering a balance of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, while remaining low in fat and calories. They are often roasted, grilled, or sautéed, making them versatile for dishes ranging from hearty ratatouille to fresh vegetable medleys. While generally healthy, preparation methods like frying or heavy seasoning can add excess calories and sodium, so lighter cooking options are recommended to maximize nutritional benefits.
