Eggplant - Solanum melongena - nightshades family plant is a wonderful fruit that is not only the tasty one but has healing properties as well. 20th centuries studies in German show that eggplant can help to prevent the accumulation of fatty build up inside of the arteries. Also, it helps with the high blood pressure regulation. Great fruit.
But what about bitterness? Solanine is the constituent of the plant that is responsible for the bitterness. Eggplant is one of the fruit that has to be prepare properly to avoid all pitfalls of the plant. Just soak them in salt for at least 30-40 minutes. All bitterness will go away.
