Eggplant is tasty, but not everyone should consume it. Here are the people who should avoid this vegetable:
1. People with Anemia or Iron Deficiency
Anthocyanin is found in eggplant skin. By “capturing” iron ions from other foods, this chemical lowers the body’s absorption of iron. It also affects the absorption of copper and zinc ions. Iron-rich foods like red meat and animal liver are better for people with anemia or iron deficiency than eggplant.
2. People with Stomach Issues
Due to its cooling properties, eating too much eggplant might lead to diarrhea and stomach ache. Therefore, this vegetable should be used sparingly by those who have stomach problems.
3. People with Poor Digestive Function
Even if they do not suffer from the same stomachaches or indigestion as youngsters, people with weak digestive systems may find eating eggplant uncomfortable due to its stiff and inflexible peel. To lessen stomach strain, this group should peel eggplant if they plan to eat it.
4. People with Kidney Dise:ase
Eggplant includes a high concentration of oxalate, a plant-derived acid. Consuming too much can cause kidney stones. Consequently, those with kidney illness should avoid eating eggplant.
