The Environmental Working Group notes Eggplant as one of the “Clean 15” produce

The NNA eggplant is both tasty and nutritionally rich, whilst being a fantastic vegetable for all diets and healthy people.

The eggplant was named number 8 on the top nutritional must have produce by many leading authorities.

According to Medical Health Line: In addition to the antioxidants, nutrients, and fibre, eggplants may offer protection against the top killer of men and women in the heart disease. Eggplant anthocyanins have been shown to help reduce artery stiffness and central blood pressure in women. Central blood pressure, the pressure in the aorta, which sends blood from the heart out to the body, is a predictive measure of heart disease and stroke. Anthocyanins also help prevent the oxidation of “bad” LDL cholesterol, a precursor to artery hardening, which can lead to either heart attack or stroke.
