Here is another dish from Türkiye.!
One cup of chopped eggplant provides 35 calories, 0 grams of fat, 8 grams of carbohydrates, 2.5 grams of fiber and 0.83 gram of protein. Vitamins found in eggplant include potassium, iron, folate, vitamin K and vitamin C. The peel or skin of deep purple eggplants provides a source of phytochemials called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are a source of antioxidants shown to have potential health benefits against cancer, inflammation and neurological disease.

Complete proteins are those that provide all 22 essential amino acids. These high-quality proteins are found primarily in animal protein sources including beef, chicken, fish, dairy and eggs. Incomplete proteins are lacking at least one or two essential amino acids -- typically found in grains, legumes or vegetables. Eggplants contain incomplete protein, but you complement them with a variety grains or legumes or meat each day to make a complete protein.

I used to be a runner. One day middle of the run, I had my feet numb up to my knee. It was sciatica from a car accident years ago. Then because having problems with my Achilles, I started using a cane. Now I changed my diet completely... no more sugar or process foods. My recent recipes are vegetarian, I do not eat meat anymore! Also no sugar, flour and very low carbohydrate meals .This is my journey now. Good luck on yours! 😄✌️
