Eggplant or Brinjal, is a very low calorie vegetable and has healthy nutrition profile; good news for weight watchers! The veggie is popularly known as aubergine in the western world.
Botanically, it belongs to solanaceae family and named as Solanum melongena. This perennial plant is native to Indian subcontinent and now grown in many tropical and semitropical regions. Eggplant / brinjal decreases the cholesterol level in the blood. It is a low carb vegetable and it is also conducive to the production of energy and stamina to rebuild the body. Professional dieticians like to use eggplants to prepare planned food.
