How to choose eggplants correctly so as not to harm your health: a professor's answer
Eggplants are healthy vegetables that contain a lot of vitamins and useful elements.
But if you cook them correctly, they become an excellent treat not only for a regular dinner table, but even for a holiday table.
But it is important to take into account that such vegetables cannot always be eaten.
Professor Oksana Drapkina spoke in more detail in an interview with representatives of the publication Doctor Peter .
She explained that one should not get carried away with such vegetables in case of exacerbation of gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
In addition, the doctor noted that you should not eat overripe eggplants, which have a lot of dark seeds. This indicates that the fruit contains the toxic alkaloid solanine, which causes serious poisoning.
If the eggplants are fresh, without any signs of damage, and you decide to cook them, then you should not peel the vegetables.
After all, it is in this part that the most useful substances are found.
Also, you shouldn't fry eggplants.
With this method of cooking, they absorb a lot of oil, and you can forget about the benefits of the product. It is better to stew or bake vegetables.
