Eggplant has a somewhat bitter, but pleasant taste and spongy texture. Once cooked, though, the taste becomes more mild and a bit richer. It also takes on a soft, creamy texture.

Whether you plan to bake, broil or grill this fruit, you'll receive a ton of nutrients and health benefits. Eggplant is low in calories and sodium, and is a great source of dietary fiber, potassium, and B vitamins. Eggplants are rich in natural chemicals called phytonutrients, which have been known to improve mental health. This benefit is a result of increased blood flow throughout the body and into the brain. By delivering more blood to the brain, phytonutrients help boost memory by stimulating your neural pathways to develop.

The skin is entirely edible, though with larger eggplants it can be a little tough. If you're roasting the eggplant whole in the oven or on the grill, leave the skin on, then after roasting, let it cool, and scoop out the flesh.

There's certainly no shortage of ways to enjoy eggplant! While it can be eaten raw, eggplant is even most wonderful when it's grilled, baked, braised or cooked and pureed into a dip.
