In addition to nutrients, eggplant also contains some bioactive substances, such as alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, organic acids and so on, which have played different roles. For example, anthocyanin, which we are familiar with, is a glycoside, which is rich in deep purple food and is a component with very strong antioxidant activity in nature.
However, there are some tips for eating eggplant. First of all, don't peel it, because purple eggplant skin is a part with more active ingredients and nutrients. If you remove the eggplant skin, you will lose most of the nutrients. In addition, many cooking methods of eggplant use too much oil. For example, the specialty dish "Di San Xian" in Northeast China not only fried eggplant in oil pan, but also added a lot of oil when frying. Cooking at a high temperature is greasy and loses a lot of nutrients. So I recommend you to mix eggplant. For example, you can cut garlic into mashed garlic, add seasoning and eggplant and mix well, which is delicious and healthy.
Eggplant is a common vegetable in life. Eggplant can be cooked in many ways. If you want to eat lightly, it will give off a natural fragrance. If you want to eat thicker, it can blend all tastes. If you want to eat it baked or fried, eggplant can satisfy you. Eggplant contains a variety of minerals, and the contents of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and other elements that people often need are not low, especially potassium. 100g eggplant can provide about 142mg potassium, and eggplant is rich in water, which is very suitable for patients with hypertension. Eggplant is low in fat and calories. 100g eggplant contains only 2 1 calorie and 0.2g fat, but it is rich in dietary fiber. 100g of eggplant contains 1.3g of dietary fiber, especially in the purple skin of eggplant. Proper consumption of eggplant can also improve satiety and prevent constipation.
Eggplant is low in fat and calories. 100g eggplant contains only 2 1 calorie and 0.2g fat, but it is rich in dietary fiber. 100g of eggplant contains 1.3g of dietary fiber, especially in the purple skin of eggplant. Proper consumption of eggplant can also improve satiety and prevent constipation. Moreover, the sugar content of eggplant is also low, which is a good choice for obese and three high patients. But dialectically speaking, compared with some vegetables, eggplant is not prominent in nutrients, but the advantage of eggplant lies in its rich and diverse mineral types. In addition, eggplant is rich in vitamin B and contains a certain amount of vitamin C and vitamin A.
Although eggplant itself is low in fat, heat and sugar, it is easy to absorb water and oil because of its rich internal structure, so it is easy to stick to the pot when boiled, or the place where the oil is not touched is not ripe. Therefore, the eggplant should be slightly blanched before frying, but many friends directly add a lot of oil for convenience, or the eggplant with water is not fragrant, which leads to eggplant becoming a high-oil and high-fat food again. It is everyone's favorite way to eat, so the eggplant with thick sauce looks delicious, but the calories may not be low, such as fish-flavored eggplant, home-cooked eggplant and braised eggplant. Patients with three highs should not eat too much.
Personally, I think the best place for eggplant is diuretic and cough relieving, and it also has the effect of eliminating aphtha; For patients with hypertension, eggplant is low in fat, low in heat and sugar, and rich in potassium and water. It is good food and can be eaten properly. In traditional medicine, eggplant has the effect of clearing away heat and promoting blood circulation. Eggplant tastes "sweet" and is "cold". Sweet food has the function of strengthening the spleen and stomach, but because eggplant is a little cold, people with gastrointestinal deficiency and cold should not eat more. It is mentioned in Southern Yunnan Materia Medica that eggplant can stop breast swelling and pain, reduce swelling and moisten intestines. Some female friends who have milk blockage and lumps after delivery can eat eggplant properly. Eggplant can also relieve pain, eliminate carbuncle and treat heat sores.
All foods can provide nutrition for people, but they have no special effects.
If someone publicizes the "efficacy" of food, this person must be a liar like Zhang Wuben.
Eating eggplant is actually good for people's health, especially eggplant contains vitamin P, which is not available in other vegetables. After reading many people's answers, they are all very good, so I won't go into details here.
To put it simply, eggplant is used by foreigners to poison people in China. Everyone thinks that eggplant is purple and black after being eaten raw. When cooking, you must put garlic in eggplant. If you don't put some garlic in the eggplant, the color of the eggplant will be ugly. People in China solved the problem of eggplant with garlic. Eggplant has been eaten by people in China until now. Became a component of zhonghao. So no matter how you cook eggplant, you must put some garlic in it. It can remove toxins from eggplant and make people eat safer and more delicious.
Eggplant can be said to be the most common vegetable all over the country. When I was a child, I was most willing to eat eggplant boxes made by my mother. When I was in college, fish-flavored eggplant strips were the most suitable dishes for me. It is cheap and delicious, although there is no fish in it! Almost everyone can eat eggplant, and few people are allergic to eggplant. Do you know what benefits eggplant has for our health? Let's open it today.
The nutritional composition of eggplant is 100g, and the calorie is very low, only 25.
Including protein1g.
Only contains 0.2 grams of fat.
And 6 grams of carbohydrates.
Rich in dietary fiber, up to 3 grams.
Eggplant is also rich in folic acid, potassium, vitamin K, vitamin C and so on. And the content of these ingredients has reached 3~5% of our daily needs.
There are 9 milligrams of calcium; 0.23 mg of iron; Magnesium 14 mg; Phosphorus 24 mg
It can be seen from these nutrients that although eggplant is not the most nutritious vegetable, it can provide appropriate amount of potassium and rich dietary fiber, and it is low in calories and fat. As long as it is not soaked in oil for a long time, it is very suitable for us to eat.
Next, let's talk about the possible benefits of eating eggplant for a long time.
Eggplant is rich in antioxidants, and our metabolism will produce a harmful substance called free radicals. What can be done to fight it? That's an antioxidant.
Eggplant is rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and also contains a lot of antioxidants. Many studies show that antioxidants can help us prevent many chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. Eggplant is particularly rich in anthocyanins, which is a component with antioxidant properties, especially in the skin of eggplant. I suggest that you try not to peel eggplant when cooking.
It can reduce the risk of heart disease. As mentioned earlier, eggplant is rich in antioxidants, which may have an effect on reducing the risk of heart disease.
There are some animal studies now, and Dr. Xie can simply share them with you. It has been found that the low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride of rabbits fed with tomato juice about 10 ml every day for two weeks decreased at the end of the experiment. As we all know, these two substances may increase our risk of heart disease.
Other research animals were fed with unprocessed eggplant or roasted eggplant for one month, and found that the heart function of animals was obviously improved and the degree of heart attack was reduced.
However, it should also be noted that these experiments are all used on animals. We know that eating eggplant will reduce our risk of heart disease to a certain extent, but we look forward to further research in the future.
Auxiliary control of blood sugar eggplant is rich in dietary fiber, which will help us slow down the digestion and absorption of sugar during the whole digestion process, thus lowering blood sugar and helping us maintain blood sugar stability; In addition, some studies show that polyphenols or natural plant compounds contained in eggplant and other foods can also help us increase insulin secretion, both of which can help us lower blood sugar.
Increasing satiety helps to control weight. Eggplant is high in fiber and very low in calories, so it has become an excellent food to help us lose weight.
The fiber rich in the dormitory is digested slowly in the intestine, which can help us to increase satiety and reduce calorie intake.
Of course, the cooking method is very important. Just like the tomato box mentioned above, this fried cooking method will not help us lose weight, will it?
Eggplant, which may have anti-cancer benefits, contains several components, showing the potential of anti-cancer cells.
For example, a substance called SRGs was found in eggplant. In some animal studies, it has been found that this substance may lead to the death of cancer cells and help reduce the recurrence of some types of cancer.
Moreover, increasing the intake of vegetables properly will help us prevent cancers in the digestive system such as pancreas, stomach and colon.
Is it risky to ingest eggplant? Eggplant and other Solanum plants contain the chemical solanine. Some people claim that solanine may aggravate inflammation and arthritis, but there is no conclusive evidence. Eggplant contains a small amount of these substances, which will definitely aggravate the symptoms of arthritis. However, if you have a special constitution and find that your joints or some pains are aggravated after eating eggplant, please stop eating it in time.
To sum up, eggplant is really common, and all kinds of cooking methods can be used, whether it is frying, frying, boiling or frying, and it is also rich in various nutrients, which is good for our health. Appropriately increasing the intake of eggplant can be said to be beneficial to our health.
However, we should also pay attention to the cooking methods of eggplant. After all, this eggplant absorbs oil easily. For people who already have hypercholesterolemia or some chronic diseases, they should pay attention to cooking methods as much as possible. Roasting, steaming and frying are all suitable, but please try not to cook by frying.
In addition, the brightest moment of eggplant should be a famous health care master more than ten years ago, who recommended eating eggplant raw. I believe some people in their forties and fifties should still remember it clearly. Please don't eat eggplant raw.
Eat eggplant and have a son
Eggplant, our country itself is the producing area (also the largest producing area); Because of its unique attractive appearance and special taste, it is deeply loved by everyone.
Eggplant is a good vegetable: as the name implies, eggplant is a "vegetable with low fat content", and the fat in eggplant per 1 00g is less than1g; Therefore, if eggplant is processed by the correct cooking method, it will not consume more fat after eating, which is suitable for modern people's personality evaluation.
Because of various chronic diseases, most modern people "talk about sugar discoloration"; As a representative vegetable in "low-sugar food", the carbohydrate content of eggplant is only about 5%, and the calorie intake of eating100g eggplant is only 25-30 kilocalories, so it is not an exaggeration to call it "diet food".
Undoubtedly, eggplant is a kind of "light vegetable" and will not "grab the taste" with any ingredients; As long as you can season, you can actually turn eggplant into any kind of "delicious food you want"; Because it is low-key, it is very suitable to appear on your table often.
Eggplant tastes like a "slight throat". This is because eggplant is rich in "pectin dietary fiber". Regular intake of dietary fiber can delay the digestion of food, increase the body's satiety, promote intestinal metabolism and speed up the defecation process, which can effectively prevent intestinal problems such as constipation and promote intestinal health.
Any kind of food has its "specific nutrients", and eggplant is no exception. Eggplant is rich in mineral potassium, proanthocyanidins and other nutrients. Eating it is a "complementary process" and is good for your health.
When eating eggplant, you should follow the "practical advice": eggplant is a good vegetarian, so it is recommended to eat it often, but it should be "smart"; What you do seriously now will be fed back to you many times in the future.
Eggplant is one of our daily vegetables. It is native to tropical Asia and widely cultivated in northern and southern China. Eggplant is a kind of herb or sub-shrub, which usually blooms from June to August and bears fruit from July to September. Now, due to the cultivation in plastic greenhouses, fresh eggplant is eaten all year round. There are many ways to eat eggplant, such as cold salad, fried vegetarian dishes, fried meat dishes, roasted eggplant and so on. It tastes sweet, tender, soft and refreshing, and is one of the vegetables that most people like to eat.
Eggplant fruit contains soluble solids, protein, fat, amino acids, flavonoids, crude fiber, lycopene, vitamin C, vitamin P, rutin, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients.
So eating eggplant is much more delicious to the human body. First of all, the vitamin P contained in eggplant can increase the adhesion between human cells and prevent microvascular rupture and bleeding. In addition, eggplant contains nutrients and alkaloids that increase human nutrition, and also has many functions such as lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, resisting aging, promoting blood circulation and clearing heat, protecting cardiovascular system, and treating chilblain. In addition, eating raw eggplant fruit can also solve the poisoning of edible fungi.
The above answers are only personal opinions for reference.
Eggplant is just a common vegetable in our mind, and we often eat it in summer. However, due to the application of greenhouse technology, eggplant is now available all year round. Eggplant is especially loved by people because of its rich nutrition and delicious taste. The thought of eggplant pot, braised eggplant and fish-flavored eggplant makes my mouth water. However, eggplant is more than just a vegetable. Eating eggplant is good for people's health. Below, I will talk to you about the benefits of eating eggplant to the human body.
In terms of nutritional value, eggplant can be said to be a vegetable with high nutritional value. It not only contains some common nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin C, but also contains many mineral elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, potassium and selenium, and also contains many nutrients such as vitamin P, thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid and retinol. The most important one is protein, which has a calcium content about 3 times higher than that of tomatoes. Purple eggplant contains a lot of vitamin P, which is incomparable to other vegetables.
In addition, eggplant is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, we usually cook with eggplant, which also has the function of homology of medicine and food. According to the dictionary of traditional Chinese medicine, eggplant is sweet and cool. Meridian enters spleen, stomach and large intestine. Functions: clearing away heat, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain and reducing swelling. Treat intestinal wind and blood, heat toxic sores, carbuncle and sores. Therefore, when we usually eat eggplant, we also have the above functions, which can clear away heat, promote blood circulation, relieve pain and reduce swelling.
First, the role of delaying aging.
Eggplant is rich in vitamin E. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which can effectively improve skin elasticity, thus playing a role in beauty and freckle removal and delaying aging. In addition, eggplant is also rich in alkaloids, such as stachydrine, choline and solanine. These alkaloids have obvious free radical scavenging and antioxidant effects in human body, thus achieving the effect of delaying aging.
Second, prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Eggplant is rich in vitamin P, about P50mg per 100g, especially purple eggplant. Vitamin P has a good effect on blood vessels, which can reduce the brittleness and permeability of capillaries, increase the adhesion and repair ability between capillaries and body cells, and keep capillaries in normal state, elasticity and physiological function, thus effectively preventing blood vessels from breaking and promoting wound healing.
In addition, vitamin E in eggplant can also soften blood vessels and avoid arteriosclerosis, thus effectively preventing and reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, eating eggplant has a positive effect on preventing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis.
Third, prevent constipation.
Eggplant not only contains a lot of dietary fiber, which can effectively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, but also has the functions of relaxing stomach (moistening intestines) and promoting blood circulation, as recorded in Lin Yi Flat Medicine and Yunan Herbal Medicine. Therefore, proper consumption of eggplant has a good effect on preventing constipation.
Fourth, the function of clearing away heat and fire.
Chinese medicine believes that eggplant is cool and can clear away heat and fire, so it can clear away heat and detoxify, promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. For cases with heat toxic carbuncle in the body, such as prickly heat, sores, etc., proper consumption of eggplant can play a role in clearing away heat and toxic materials.
Although eggplant is nutritious and delicious, it is not suitable for anyone to eat more eggplant. "Dietary Guide" records: "Eggplant tastes sweet and light, but it is cold, and eating too much can cause dysentery and scabies. It is not suitable for people with deficiency cold and spleen and stomach weakness, and it is not suitable for all patients, especially those with colds. Eating eggplant after autumn damages the eyes, just like eating garlic, causing hemorrhoids and leakage. Eating more abdominal pain is beneficial, and women can hurt the uterus without pregnancy. "
So eggplant is not suitable for eating more. Don't eat eggplant just because it tastes good, it will only be harmful to your health. Moreover, eggplant is cold, which is not suitable for some people with spleen and stomach deficiency, chronic diarrhea and indigestion and pregnant women.
Finally, when eating eggplant, many people often don't like to eat eggplant skin, either peel it off when cooking, or just eat eggplant meat and spit it out when eating eggplant. If this is the case, then the rich vitamin E and vitamin P in eggplant skin are wasted and cannot be absorbed and utilized by the human body, resulting in the loss of nutrition.
I grew up in the countryside, and eggplant was one of the few vegetables that we could eat raw when we were young.
When I was a child, there was no material shortage and no snacks. When we are tired and hungry, eggplant is the "war preparation food" that we can satisfy our hunger.
Imagine a large green eggplant field and rushing into three or four teenagers. They picked a shiny purple eggplant from waist-high eggplant seedlings, then went to the ground to pull out the green onions, split the eggplant horizontally, sandwiched between the green onions, and took a hard bite, making them hungry and thirsty. Isn't it beautiful?
I didn't know until I grew up that eggplant is very, very rich in nutrition. I won't go into details about various vitamins and minerals here. This is the job of experts.
I won't say much about the delicious way of eggplant. That's the chef's specialty. But I tell you quietly: don't peel eggplant, because the purple skin of eggplant is its essence.
Today, I still like eggplant. Or eat it raw; Tear the eggplant into small pieces by hand (be careful not to cut it with a kitchen knife), mix with sesame sauce and eat directly. It can reduce blood fat and relieve constipation, which is the first choice for weight loss and beauty.
Do you know other ways to eat eggplant raw? Tell me!
