Eggplant

Eggplants are great sources of several vitamins & minerals, as well as gut-healthy fiber!

Instructions:

Eggplant is a glossy black vegetable that has white flesh with a meaty texture.
Choose eggplants that have shiny, smooth skin without bruises or blemishes.
Eggplants are sensitive to temperature and should be stored in the refrigerator.
Do not cut an eggplant before you store it since it will go bad quickly.
For a less bitter tasting eggplant, sprinkle it with salt after cutting into pieces and let it sit for 30 minutes.
This will pull out some of the water and make it less likely to absorb a lot of oil while cooking.
Rinse the eggplant afterwards to remove most of the salt.
Eggplant can be baked, roasted, steamed, or sautéed.
If baking whole, pierce the eggplant several times with a fork.
Bake at 350˚F for 15-25 minutes.
Test for doneness by inserting a knife or fork.
