Eggplant or aubergine is a species of nightshade grown for its edible fruit. Eggplant is the common name in North America, Australia and New Zealand; in French and British English, it is aubergine, and in South Asia and South Africa, brinjal. Wikipedia

Eggplant is a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin B1 and copper. It is a good source of manganese, vitamin B6, niacin, potassium, folate and vitamin K. Eggplant also contains phytonutrients such as nasunin and chlorogenic acid.

Do you have to peel an eggplant? If your eggplant is young, tender, and on the small side, the nutrient-rich skin can be left. Otherwise, peel the skin and then slice or cube the flesh.

Leeks serve as excellent sources of vitamins, and also offer health benefits thanks to their phytonutrient content.

With their unique combination of flavonoids and sulfur-containing nutrients, the allium vegetables belong in your diet on a regular basis. There's research evidence for including at least one serving of an allium vegetable in your meal plan every day.
