1, eggplant alkali harm analysis
Eggplant contains a harmful substance: eggplant alkali. Excessive consumption may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Scientific studies have found that lycopene content is higher in unripe eggplants than in ripe ones. Eggplants in the full picking period in the high lycopene content, and fast pulling down the eggplant picked in the low lycopene content. It was also found that the color of the eggplant skin had a strong relationship with the lycopene content of the eggplant, with purple eggplants having a high level of lycopene content and green eggplants having a low level of lycopene content. In other words, the darker the color of the eggplant, the higher the lycopene content.
But lycopene is not found in the skin of the eggplant, but mainly in the flesh.

At the same time, lycopene is basically insoluble in water, so it cannot be removed by blanching, boiling, etc. The only way is to control the intake. The only way is to control the intake. The good thing is that the eggplant is low in lycopene, the highest varieties do not exceed 0.8 mg per gram of dry weight, converted into fresh eggplant, about 450 grams to eat, this high lycopene eggplant only may reach 25 mg of intake, when nausea and vomiting and other uncomfortable reactions are likely to occur. 400 milligrams of lycopene is likely to make the adult fatal, so under normal circumstances a meal of half a kilogram of eggplant is not going to cause any trouble.
People have heard that raw tomatoes are poisonous, and it is lycopene that is among the troubles. Eating a single 80 to 100 grams of plain green tomatoes may reach lycopene levels that make you feel sick and uncomfortable. However, green tomatoes are not as scary as one might think, and the symptoms will gradually ease as long as you stop eating them. And eating more than 1.15 kilograms is only life-threatening.
