Eggplant is an excellent source of dietary fibre. It's a very good source of vitamins B1, B6 and potassium. It’s a good source of copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, niacin, and folic acid. Nasunin, an anthocyanin from eggplant peels, is a potent antioxidant and free-radical scavenger, and has protective activity against lipid peroxidation.
Health benefits of brinjal
- Take brinjal in a mashed form or as a soup and add some garlic and asafetida to it. It will help you get rid of flatulence and adjust the wind humor of the body.
- Brinjal can also be eaten after being roasted directly on fire. Just peel off the skin, mash it and add some salt in it for flavor and eat it. It will help cure phlegm, congestion and reduce the formation of gas.
- In order to increase appetite and digestion, take soup made of mashed brinjal and tomato, along with some salt and pepper.
- In case you are unable to fall asleep easily, eat a soft brinjal (along with some honey) after baking it directly over fire. If taken regularly, it may also cure insomnia.
- In order to cure enlarged spleen caused due to malaria, eat soft baked brinjal along with raw sugar on empty stomach, preferably in the morning.
- Type 2 Diabetes Management
The National Diabetes Education Program, Mayo Clinic and American Diabetes Association recommend an eggplant based diet as a choice for management of type 2 diabetes. The rationale for this suggestion is the high fiber and low soluble carbohydrate content of eggplant.
Study results indicate that phenolic-enriched extracts of eggplant inhibit enzymes that provide a strong biochemical basis for management of type 2 diabetes by controlling glucose absorption and reducing associated high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Cholesterol Lowering
Eggplant has been used as a cholesterol lowering agent, and there are some studies to support that claim. There is however other studies that do not support the use of eggplant extract as a cholesterol lowering agent. Further research is needed to establish its effectiveness in lowering cholesterol.
- Cancer Prevention
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels and is a normal process in growth and in wound healing. Angiogenesis also plays an important role in the growth and spread of cancer by feeding the cancer cells with oxygen and nutrients. In a study at the Department of Nutritional Science in Japan, it was established that nasunin, the antioxidant from eggplant peels, is an angiogenesis inhibitor, and might be useful to prevent angiogenesis-related diseases.Other studies have demonstrated that antioxidant anthocyanins found in eggplant skin and other plants show inhibitory effects on the growth of some cancer cells.
- Glycemic Index of Eggplant
In a study to determine the GI of various vegetables, it was concluded that eggplant has a low GI of 15. Brinjal is believed to be cholesterol regulator and antidiabetic. However Brinjal is not beneficial to person having excessive bile humor and one who has acidity problem.

"2 bananas cost 50 cents, banana dessert costs 10 dollars" Marketing is story-telling of any selling proposition beyond the obvious. A grand chef can change the total perception, price and taste of 2 bananas by infusing value in them through his skill. Two bananas cost 50 cents. But the same simple bananas can be transformed into a terrific dessert costing anywhere from $10 to $50 depending on the chef’s reputation. His repute gets built over time from his proven quality and taste he conjures up that his guests perceive and regard highly. Marketing is exposing the excellence of the banana dessert the chef creates by transforming two basic bananas. Of course, the dessert has to have truth and ingenuity that end-customers can recognize and take seriously. End-customers have to believe in that dessert and its quality excellence, it must work well for them, and it must look good. This is what marketing is. You can read the complete article here. What do you think?...

What Indian Business Education don’t provide for the Environment. Value generated and transacted in Business is the hallmark and pillar of the skill generated from a Business education. A business when it sell products in India, they don’t worry about the affordability of their wares by the masses let alone functionality which may be part of it. A business incurs around 40% of fixed cost component along with may be 30% variable cost and probably the rest as ‘conversion cost’. What Business education teach us and what is followed in Efficient economies is they fix a breakeven point say 100 units of sale. These 100 units will provide the years cost incurred. After this point they will start giving discounts say 10% or so, so that more of products will move at lowered costs. If products are priced far above these three costs then the demand will subside and the production line will stagnate even for normal production. Two things are required in the environment for this process to...
