I’ve asked before if eggplant or aubergine as it is known worldwide, have egg contents hence the name eggplant? Of course not! It’s just that eggplant used to be small, white, and egg-shaped, when it was first discovered.
While eggplant cannot boast about its nutritional content as compared with green and yellow vegetables, it does have nutritional, culinary, and medicinal merits.
Eggplant is cholesterol-free and low in calories and sodium. It has phytochemical monoterpene that may help prevent the growth of cancer cells. Its skin adds to its dietary fiber content.
To enhance an eggplants nutritional benefit, combine it with nutritious ingredients like eggs, tomatoes, and other lowland veggies like swamp cabbage (kangkong), Chinese cabbage (pechay), or string beans.
Australian researchers developed an organic topical cream from glycoalkaloids, a group of cancer-killing compounds present in eggplants. Glycoalkaloids invade a cancer cell and stimulate the cell’s own digestive enzymes, which cause lesions to disappear in as short as 4 weeks.
