Eggplant is a great source of nutrition as it contains antioxidants that protect our cells.
It is especially great for those with diabetes as it can help balance blood sugar (viaWebMD).
But can it actually be harmful?
Just think twice before ordering it every single night.
According toMomJunction, eggplant has folate, which is great for your new baby’s brain development.
The most concerning aspect of eggplant is eating it raw.
According toPregnancy Food Checker, it contains solanine, which can be toxic when eaten too often.
When cooked, solanine is killed off, so that eggplant parm you love is perfectly safe.
But eggplant may also have a bit of magic for pregnant folks hoping to go into labor.
A lesser known option is eating eggplant.
Even if labor doesn’t start, it is still a delicious meal to enjoy.
