Eggplant
Exceptional nutritional value
Eggplant (aubergine) with the skin, values for the raw vegetable.
Eggplant, also called aubergine, is eaten grilled, roasted, stewed or fried, and is the base of dishes such as baba ganoush, moussaka and ratatouille. A 100 g portion has only 25 kcal and 3 g of fiber but little of any single vitamin or mineral. Its spongy flesh soaks up oil when fried, so fried eggplant can have several times the calories of the raw vegetable; roasting or grilling with a little oil avoids that.
