Background of Brinjal In India, eggplant is often described as “the
poor man’s vegetable”, because it is popular amongst small-scale farmers and low-income consumers.
Brinjal or Egg plant or Aubergine (Solanum melongena) is a native of India and has been cultivated since a long time.
It is widely grown in the warmer regions of both hemispheres.
Nutritional valueThe edible portion of brinjal per 100 gm
contains 92.7 gm of moisture, 1.4 gm of protein, 0.3 gm of fat, 0.3 gm of minerals, 1.3 gm of carbohydrates and 4 gm of calcium.
The fruits of brinjal are an excellent remedy for those suffering from liver problems.
The green leaves of the plant are the main source of supply of antiscorbic Vitamin-C for diabetic patients.
