It is said that demand determines the market. In Chinese shops in the United States, eggplant is placed on eye-catching counters; But eggplant is rarely seen in shops dominated by whites. So some people come to the conclusion that Americans don't like eggplant.
According to historical records, eggplant was planted in India and China as early as the 5th century. /kloc-In the 20th century, Arabs introduced eggplant to Spain, and then European immigrants introduced eggplant to the United States. For a long period of history, Americans thought that eggplant would make people crazy, have difficulty breathing and get cancer. Because of these bad reputations, eggplant has long been degraded as an ornament, and it was gradually accepted by Americans until modern times.
Nancy Roleman, a famous American food connoisseur, recently commented on eggplant, saying that she was originally a person who hated eggplant. Once I asked an Italian restaurant to deliver food and found that it was mixed with wet eggplant, and she suddenly lost her appetite. This is the first time she has eaten eggplant. Later, she tried it several times and found that eggplant was not only nutritious, but also delicious. Like Roleman, many Americans' attitudes towards eggplant have gone through a process, from disgust to acceptance to love.
In order to make more and more people accept eggplant, food experts have tried their best. About how to cook eggplant, the famous American gourmet Ovo Giovanni published the book Eggplant: Never Come Again in 75 Days. According to American taste habits, the eggplant method of Chinese food has been improved, and 75 recipes have been derived, which is the most popular eggplant book in the United States. Classic practices include: stir-frying celery, carrots, diced onion and diced eggplant together, then pouring tomato sauce and stock to make an "eggplant version" of Luo Songtang, frying tomatoes and beef, and spreading them on the fried eggplant to make an eggplant burger; Cut steamed eggplant into filaments and mix with spinach and salmon; There are also fish-flavored eggplant seeds that imitate China and so on. The reporter found it on Amazon. There is even a book called "Eggplants are Enough in the Kitchen"-it is amazing that a few eggplants can make a table full of soup, salad and main course.
I fell in love with eggplant, not only because I have a feasible formula, but also because scientists fully support it. American scientists have found that eggplant contains more saponins, which can lower cholesterol and help prevent arteriosclerosis, hypertension and coronary heart disease. Therefore, eggplant is a good diet for patients with cardiovascular diseases. An American magazine introduced the article "Cholesterol Reduction Method 12", and even put edible eggplant in the first place. It is not surprising that people are so fascinated by it.
