Vegetables: Eggplant’s Nutrional Facts

Filed under: food dictionary, vegetable - bonz @ 1:56 pm

searched the web regarding the eggplant having no nutritional value. peertrainer said that eggplant has one.

  • it has a very good source of dietary fiber, potassium,manganese, copper and thiamin (vitamin B1). also a good source ofvitamin B6, folate, magnesium and niacin. it also contains phytonutrients such as nasunin and chlorogenic acid.

    They are an excellent food to aid in weight loss, being low in calories and fat. Eggplant is a nutrient dense food, which will help you feel full, and there are almost no calories in eggplants.
  • Eggplants belong to the nightshade family of vegetables, which also includes tomatoes, sweet peppers and potatoes.
  • eggplant calories: there are 20 calories in a cup of eggplant, essentially zero calories for purposes of your diet.
personal thoughts:
been pregnant last year and i didn’t know that eggplant has folate in it, good thing its my favorite and i always eat it!
