Mini Eggplant
One of the main allies against high cholesterol and diabetes, eggplant is a fruit known for its high levels of vitamins, especially those of the B complex, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron and fiber.
For diabetics, eggplant can also be a great ally. Just like for those with high cholesterol, soluble fiber in this case also aids in the absorption of glucose during digestion.
The improvement occurs because the fibers form a type of “gel” that surrounds the food bolus and slows its absorption.
