# _**Scientific name: Solanum melongena.**_ Eggplant is a very healthy food, low in calories and carbohydrates. In the kitchen it is highly appreciated for the wide variety of recipes that can be prepared for different occasions, from parties, meetings and even dinners. For me, eggplant is an indispensable food, I always buy since I like to prepare cream, antipasto and stews, which is ideal for any occasion. I substitute butter for eggplant cream, that's why I love eggplant. We can also consume it roasted, baked, fried, steamed, etc. Under no circumstances can eggplant be eaten raw, since it contains a toxic substance called solanine that can cause damage to our health.
It is mainly composed of water, it is rich in fiber and its fat is low. In addition, they provide us with minerals such as: potassium, sulfur, iron, calcium and vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B3, B6 and folic acid. ### **Benefits:** * It helps us lose weight. * It contains antioxidant properties. * Recommended during pregnancy. * It improves intestinal activity and prevents constipation. * Help avoid fluid retention and inflammation. * Protects cardiovascular health. * Reduce sugar and cholesterol levels. * Beneficial for the nervous system. * Protects the liver. * Among others.
**Being the eggplant, a healthy food:** * Its consumption must be moderate * People who suffer from stomach problems, kidney stones and joints, should consult their doctor before consuming it. I hope this information is of great benefit to you.
