I’d have to say eggplant is my favorite vegetable. With its high nutrient content, eggplant is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals important for good health. Eggplant also contains fiber which helps digestion, lowers cholesterol and promotes heart health. Additionally, eggplant has anti-inflammatory properties that can help protect against certain diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Need a little brain boost?
