EGGPLANT
Eggplant is a plant species in the nightshade family Solanaceae grown for its often purple edible fruit. Although eggplant is the common name in the United States, in British English, it is called aubergine, and in South Asia and South Africa, brinjal.
Eggplants contain flavonoids, such as anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments that have many health benefits. They also help give the eggplant its well-known, dark purple color. The skin of the eggplant is rich in antioxidants,fiber, potassium, and magnesium.
