Eggplant is a common vegetable in our kitchen, the color is purple or purple-black. When it comes to nutritional value, eggplant does not have the upper hand, but for the weight loss crowd, it's perfect.

Because the eggplant's three essential nutrients, protein, carbohydrates, fat content is very small, and very low calorie, each 100 grams of eggplant contains only 23 calories, whether it is a weight loss crowd or three high patients, are very healthy food.

The structure of the eggplant and other vegetables is different, it is loose and porous structure can absorb a lot of oil, known as "grease sponge", but it is its special structure leads to a lot of people in the cooking process, it is likely that the healthy vegetables to do unhealthy.

For example, we often eat fried eggplant box, in the cut eggplant clip into the meat filling, and then hung on the batter pan deep-fried to golden brown, sounds like people drooling, but this dish is typical of high-fat food.

Because the eggplant in the deep-frying process, a lot of fat will be absorbed into the eggplant inside. One study found that by putting about 20g of cooking oil to deep fry the eggplant box, the fat content in this dish will instantly rise to about 17%.

Whether it's frying eggplant boxes or stir-frying eggplant, but anything you put cooking oil into will multiply the calories in the eggplant. Eat an extra 10g of oil into it every day, then the calories that go into the body are 90 calories, which is 3,650 that grease a year.

So the eggplant to want to get to a good weight loss effect, cooking method is very important, that which method can really play a "suck oil" weight loss effect?

Raw eggplant is not reliable, hurt the stomach:

A lot of people say, raw food is the most weight loss. In fact, this statement is wrong, the eggplant can indeed absorb part of the oil, but we have not thought, absorbed the oil of the eggplant but also in the stomach after digestion and absorption process, may last about 4 hours, this time the oil will be back to the body.

And eat a lot of raw eggplant, it is likely that there is the phenomenon of eggplant alkaloid poisoning, but also to the gastrointestinal injury, especially the digestive function of the weaker people, after eating may be bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea and other problems. So, it is not reliable to eat raw eggplant to lose weight.

I recommend that you steam the eggplant, wash the eggplant and remove the root, and then slice the eggplant on the pot to steam for about 8-10 minutes, this time with garlic, salt to taste, delicious and healthy.
