Eggplant, Brinjal and Aubergine are the same! But different countries call it differently.
North America – Eggplant; India – Brinjal; France – Aubergine.
Brinjal skin is high in Anthocyanin (antioxidant). This antioxidant can also be found in blueberries, purple sweet potato and purple rice.
It is good for heart health, cognitive health and memory, and also to strengthen the immune system!

brinjal. Please ensure that the brinjals are fully submerged in the boiling water throughout the entire
cooking duration to prevent oxidation.
