Very low calorie, loaded with beneficial nutrients, with a distinctive taste and sponge-like texture
Product Benefits:
Aubergine skin is the most prominent natural source of nasunin; a potent antioxidant which prevents iron accumulation and neutralizes free-radicals, giving it anti-ageing properties.
The flavonoids found in aubergines play an important part in heart health, whilst the presence of phenolic compounds can actively reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol and help to prevent the formation of blood clots. Regular consumption of aubergine is recommended as a natural way to manage type 2 diabetes, as it can help to control glucose absorption and reduce associated high blood pressure, as well as being a high-fiber, low fat food.
