Eggplant – Brinjal

Somehow this time of the year,,, This emoji 🍆🍆 features in a lot of people’s text conversations left, right & centre 😂😂.
.
Our kids might just never know that this 🍆 is a vegetable 🧐
.
I bet when you saw the image in your timeline you thought something else ☺️– get your mind out of the gutter .
I hope this 🍆 does not end in convo does not end there but actually its taken all the way up to the kitchen counter 🍽
.
What is this food item really? . – This is Brinjal, Eggplant or Aubegine 🍆🍆… I am more familiar with name brinjal .
Super nutritious;
1. Packed with fibre🍆
2. High antioxidants such as anthocyanins 🍆
3. Low in “calories” for those counting calories🍆
4. Super versatile can add flavour & jazz to literally any savoury dish🍆
5. Packed with vitamins & minerals 🍆

Clearly one of the unsung heroes in the kitchen .
Lets hope you eat eggplant 🍆 and it does end with it being in those “naughty “ convos 😉
