SELECT From deep purple to white, long<br />

or short, oblong or round, there are many<br />

varieties. Choose an eggplant that is heavy<br />

for its size and with firm, smooth skin.<br />

<strong>ca</strong>n become bitter within a few days. Store<br />

in a cool, dry place or in the crisper.<br />

ENJOY To avoid discoloration, cut<br />

eggplant just before you’re ready to use it.<br />

If it’s overripe and soft, sprinkle with a little<br />

salt and let it sit for 20 minutes to draw<br />

out the bitter juices, then rinse and pat dry.<br />

Eggplant is delicious baked, sautéed or added<br />

to a stir-fry.<br />

BENEFIT Eggplant contains heart-friendly<br />

soluble fibre, which <strong>ca</strong>n help improve digestive<br />

health, lower cholesterol and maintain energy<br />

by controlling blood sugar levels.<br />
