Eggplant

Eggplant

EverydayFresh

Eggplant is a versatile nightshade vegetable recognized for its glossy purple skin and sponge-like flesh that softens into a creamy texture when cooked. This low-calorie, low-carbohydrate vegetable absorbs flavors exceptionally well in dishes like ratatouille and baba ganoush, though its porous structure requires mindful oil management during cooking. While modern cultivars have reduced bitterness, salting slices before cooking remains a common technique to refine texture and flavor in many Mediterranean and Asian cuisines.
