Aubergine, known as baingan in South Asian cuisine, is a versatile nightshade vegetable prized for its tender flesh and mild flavour. Rich in fibre and antioxidants, particularly nasunin, this deep purple variety supports digestive health and overall wellness. Its naturally low calorie content makes it ideal for balanced meals. Best enjoyed grilled, roasted, or curried, aubergine absorbs flavours beautifully whilst maintaining its creamy texture when cooked properly. Select firm specimens with unblemished skin for optimal quality and taste.
