Hello Insta Family!!
Did You Know?
🔹Brinjal, also known as Aubergines/ Eggplants, belong to the nightshade family of plants and are used in many different dishes around the world.
Although often considered a vegetable, they’re technically a fruit, as they grow from a flowering plant and contain seeds.
👉Brinjals are a nutrient-dense food, meaning they contain a good amount of vitamins, minerals and fiber in few calories.
▪️One cup (82 grams) of raw eggplant contains the following nutrients:
🔹Calories: 20
🔹Carbs: 5 grams
🔹Fiber: 3 grams
🔹Protein: 1 gram
🔹Manganese: 10% of the RDI
🔹Folate: 5% of the RDI
🔹Potassium: 5% of the RDI
🔹Vitamin K: 4% of the RDI
🔹Vitamin C: 3% of the RDI
👉 Brinjals are high in anthocyanins, a pigment with antioxidant properties that can protect against cellular damage.
👉Some animal studies have found that Brinjals may improve heart function and reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, though human research is needed.
👉Brinjals are high in fiber and polyphenols, both of which help reduce blood sugar levels.
👉Brinjal is high in fiber but low in calories, both of which can help promote weight loss. It can also be used in place of higher-calorie ingredients.
👉Brinjals contain solasodine rhamnosyl glycosides, which test-tube studies indicate may aid in cancer treatment. Eating more fruits and vegetables may also protect against some types of cancer.
📌Brinjal is a purple-skinned fruit with a white, spongy flesh.
It’s typically used as a vegetable in cooking and a common ingredient in vegan recipes, especially those that mimic the flavors or textures of meat.
