Eggplants are fat free, sodium free and low in calories.
To pick good eggplants make sure they are plump and have
no blemishes on their skin. They should have deep, consistent
coloring. Long ago eggplants were called Mad Apples because
many believed that eating them caused insanity. They were
actually introduced to the United States by Thomas Jefferson
and today are one of our 22 principle crops.
