In fact, it is a folk saying that you can't eat eggplant after beginning of autumn. The reason why you say this is that solanine will be produced in eggplant because the temperature drops after autumn, that is, solanine (an alkaloid) will be produced in germinated potatoes. After frosting in autumn, the solanine content will be higher, which is much higher than that in summer when the temperature is higher. After planting eggplant in the field in beginning of autumn, the solanine content will increase. In addition, the solanine content of purple eggplant will be higher than that of green eggplant. However, a large intake of solanine will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea and vomiting. Even respiratory paralysis and so on, and solanine is basically insoluble in water, so it can not be removed by blanching, boiling and other methods. Therefore, it is said that "eggplant after beginning of autumn" can't be eaten, which is not good for health. This is a general statement based on long-term experience.

Can the eggplant after beginning of autumn be eaten? The answer is yes, but eat less. That's because although the solanine content of eggplant after beginning of autumn will be higher, it will not reach the toxic dose. According to the understanding, the human body can ingest about 400 mg of solanine at most, and the variety with the highest solanine content needs to eat 450 g to get 25 mg of solanine. So even if you eat half a catty every meal, there is generally no problem, and now many eggplants are planted in greenhouses, and the temperature in greenhouses is still relatively high. Eggplants planted in greenhouses have no such thing as autumn, so the solanine content in eggplants is low, so it is not suitable for modern society, and there is no scientific basis at the same time, so it can be safely eaten. In fact, autumn is the best season to eat eggplant, which is the eggplant.

Autumn temperature changes greatly, the temperature difference between day and night increases, eggplant nutrients accumulate more, and the temperature in greenhouse is suitable. Because environmental conditions can meet the requirements of eggplant growth and development, eggplant not only has high yield, but also has good quality. At this time, the newly harvested eggplant is called "Kandelia candel", which has a unique fragrance and delicate taste, so its flavor is better than that of ordinary eggplant, and it is cheap and delicious.

Although aubergines in autumn will not cause poisoning, raw aubergines may cause poisoning. Scientific research has found that the content of solanine in undercooked aubergines is higher than that in mature aubergines. In addition, because aubergines are cold vegetables, pregnant women with indigestion, diarrhea, spleen and stomach deficiency and loose stool symptoms should not eat more. And pregnant women should also choose fresh eggplant when choosing eggplant. It is best not to choose old eggplant, especially after autumn, which contains more solanine, which is harmful to human body and should not be eaten more. And autumn is the season to eat crabs, and eggplant should not be eaten with crab meat.

Eggplant and crab meat are both cold foods. Eating them together will often make the stomach feel uncomfortable, and in severe cases, it will lead to diarrhea, especially for people with spleen and stomach deficiency. In addition, the most correct way to eat eggplant is that eggplant+garlic = cold and warm. Eggplant contains a variety of vitamins, fats, protein, sugar and minerals, but eggplant tastes bitter and cold. Therefore, people must add some garlic when cooking eggplant in daily life. This is not only because garlic can produce a unique fragrance, but also a concrete manifestation of the theory of combining cold and warm.
