✦ Low calorie ✦ Fibre source ✦ Anthocyanin antioxidants ✦ Manganese source

Aubergine is a low-calorie fruiting vegetable with fibre, manganese, and skin pigments called anthocyanins that act as antioxidants. It contributes small amounts of potassium and folate, and its spongy flesh readily absorbs cooking fat.

Preparation note

Frying in rapeseed oil raises calories but adds unsaturated fats; use a measured amount to keep absorption down.
