Nutritional values
The aubergine owes its black-blue colour to anthocyanins. These natural colorants have a strong antioxidant effect. They bind free radicals in the body and thus protect the cells from damage. Furthermore, anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory and vascular-protective effects.
Aubergines are not suitable for raw consumption due to their solanine content. However, the vegetables should be grilled or fried with the skin on, as a large part of the vitamins, secondary plant substances and dietary fibres are found in the skin.
