Eggplant, also known as "egg plant," is a purplish, pear-shaped vegetable commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Eggplant has a firm texture and a mild, slightly bitter flavor that combines well with other herbs and spices.
Eggplants are rich in fiber, vitamins B1, B6 and K, as well as minerals such as potassium and copper. The purple color of eggplants is due to anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant that may help reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage.
Aubergines can be prepared in various ways, such as grilling, baking, roasting or frying. One of the most popular eggplant dishes is moussaka, a Greek dish consisting of layers of eggplant, minced meat, potatoes and béchamel sauce. Eggplant can also be used in stews, casseroles, curries and pasta dishes.
A well-known Middle Eastern dish is baba ganoush, a dip made from roasted eggplant, garlic, lemon juice and tahini. Eggplant can also be used as a substitute for meat in vegetarian dishes, for example in eggplant-pumpkin lasagna or stuffed eggplants with feta and tomato.
