Some health benefits of the Eggplant African Kibibi

Reduction of Weight

Lifestyle specialists confirm that when it comes to weight loss and management, dietary fibre is one of the most significant considerations since it serves as a “bulking agent” in the digestive system. The compounds in the eggplant not only increase satiety but also suppress hunger. It is also understood from observations that an eggplant tends to minimize calorie consumption by making a human feel fuller for a longer period of time.

Improving vision

The cream-coloured flesh of the eggplant has a sweet-sour taste, owing to the presence of tiny quantities of nicotinoid alkaloids that it contains. This helps guard against blurred vision caused by glaucoma and increases overall vision.
