We love aubergines in curries and also bake them stuffed them with rice, cheese and vegetables. We like to eat Baba Ghanoush, which is a smoky Turkish meze dip.

To prepare, we salt the inside of the aubergine to soften the fruit and reduce the bitter taste. Then we leave them for half an hour to an hour and a half before we cook them.

Aubergines are nutrient dense, being high in fibre, vitamins and minerals. They are a good source of manganese, folate, potassium, vitamins C and K.

Aubergines are high in the antioxidants Anthocyanin and nasunin, which can protect against cell damage. They are also reputed to reduce the risk of heart disease, promote blood sugar control, aid weight loss and may protect against some types of cancer.

The Americans call the fruit “eggplant” as it is shaped like a large pear shaped egg.

If you leave aubergines in the air for a long time, they discolour very strongly, do they also lose nutrients when they are lying around sliced for a long time?

Correct
We need to pay attention to this point
it is prone to deterioration

Nutritious Aubergine / Eggplant is very good food.

Again, you may downvote me at 100% in retaliation but your self serving actions on @naturalproducts are going to drive away those with a genuine interest in the subject and devalue the coin.
