Black Beauty eggplant are large, drop shaped, glossy, delectable fruits that are so deep purple in color that they appear black. The flesh is cotton white, tender yet firm, with small seeds patterned throughout. Black Beauty eggplant has a creamy texture and depth of flavor when cooked and stands up well to frying and stuffing.

Eggplant is very low in calories and fats but rich in soluble fiber content. 100 g provides just 24 calories but contributes about 9% of RDA (recommended daily allowance) of fiber.

Research studies conducted at the Institute of Biology of São Paulo State University; Brazil suggested that eggplant is effective to control high blood cholesterol.

The peel or skin (deep blue/purple varieties) of aubergine has significant amounts of phenolic flavonoid phyto-chemicals called anthocyanins.

Scientific studies have shown that these anti-oxidants have potential health effects against cancer, aging, inflammation, and neurological diseases.
