Indian Eggplant
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
Eggplant is super healthy because of its fiber and potassium content for the undisturbed functioning of muscles, nerve cells, and heart valves. It also contains vitamin C, which, among other things, ensures firm gums and the maintenance of connective tissue.
Salting the eggplants removes bitter substances and water from them. To prevent the pulp from turning brown, add a few drops of lemon juice.
