The strong dark violet color of eggplants is the so-called flavonoids. These secondary plant substances protect the body's cells from damage by free radicals.

If you like, you can replace the chickpeas in the eggplant salad with dried tomatoes with lentils. Varieties that do not disintegrate during cooking, such as beluga lentils or mountain lentils, are well suited.
