Eggplants are considered a useful product, the value of which is given by the presence in their composition of magnesium, zinc, potassium and a whole group of vitamins necessary for the body.

However, they contain eggplant and a substance such as solanine, which is poisonous.

According to experts, when this vegetable is consumed in small amounts, solanine is safe for humans.

But there is another important point. The older the vegetable becomes, the more it is saturated with a poisonous substance that protects the fruit from insects.

Simply put, the use of late and especially overripe eggplants can cause poisoning - in certain cases life-threatening.

You can identify a harmful vegetable by cutting it. If the seeds inside are dark in color and do not exude a very good smell, it is definitely not worth eating such a fruit. He has matured and become dangerous.

In other cases, eggplant is a very healthy product, from which the most delicious dishes are obtained.
