Magnesium plays a role in muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and bone health. Because the calorie count is low, it can fit easily into a weight-management plan.
Good to know
Eggplant can be eaten raw or cooked. Cooking methods such as roasting or grilling can change the texture but keep most of the nutrients. The skin holds much of the fiber, so leaving it on adds more benefit. This is general education, not medical advice.
