Amusing Anecdote – The aubergine is technically a fruit but in practice a vegetable. It originally comes from India and is only eaten cooked. Very low in calories, they are rich in the pectins that slow down the absorption of sugar and their skin contains protective anti-oxidants. In Turkey it is considered lucky to dream of 3 aubergines!
