The eggplant owes its black-blue color to anthocyanins, natural colorants that have a strong antioxidant effect. Antioxidants bind to free radicals in the body and thus protect the cells from damage. These power substances can even inhibit inflammation and protect the vessels.

Genuine feta cheese is made exclusively from sheep's or goat's milk - the cheaper varieties are similar to real feta but are made from cow's milk.
