Although it's not high in any vitamin or mineral, it does supply you with 2.5 g of fiber per cup serving, and it's low in calories. So you get full without getting fat! Why give that up? I combine eggplant with onions and peppers in a stirfry and then top it on rice or a gluten-free pasta. And there's nothing like grilled eggplant drizzed with olive oil and garlic.... mmmm.... :)

The Bad
This food is very high in Sodium, and a large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars
