Eggplant

With an Amino Acid profile of almost 100%, this vegetable has all its vitamins and minerals in check.  Always a staple in my home!  I usually buy 3-5 eggplants a week, and they last about 7 days.  



A few healthy benefits and tips below, based on 1 cup:

* Vitamin A, keeps skin healthy, promotes cellular growth
