Eggplant: An Extravaganza of Recipes

Here are eggplant recipes galore, perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and eggplant lovers alike! Eggplant comes in a number of varieties, from tiny Japanese to white and magenta types, and all the familiar glossy dark purple ones in between.While eggplant isn’t a nutritional superstar in terms of vitamins, and minerals compared to green veggies, it still boasts its share, as well as being a good source of dietary fiber as well as a few valuable antioxidants. Eggplant is also extraordinarily versatile, and those who love it will appreciate its presence in everything from salads to dips to soups and stews. Photo by Rollin’ Oats Market and Café.
