Eggplants, part of the nightshade family, were once called 'raging apples' due to their dual nature as potential aphrodisiacs or poisons. While they contain alkaloids, the consensus is that the health benefits, including antioxidants and low fat, outweigh any risks of inflammation.
Despite eggplant being delicious and versatile, many people only cook it occasionally—usually in ratatouille. However, eggplant can be prepared in many different ways, such as stuffing, stir-fry, dipping, roasting, or grilling.
