The Extraordinary Eggplant
Fortunately, today people know that eggplant doesn't cause insanity or cancer. In fact, eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this super vegetable. Since it is high in fiber, eggplant can also improve digestion. Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow-white.
And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish varieties range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious!

Most people at the festival would agree - eggplant is an "egg-cellent" vegetable!
